Oh.&nbsp;:smileysurprised:
Ok, well, in this case, AP mode would be preferred. If your using both wifi sources, AX and Orbi, you'll need to keep the AX router far apart from the Orbi base as much as possilble.&nbsp;
For 2.4ghz between these two, set manual channel to 11 on one router and 1 on the Orbi. Same with 5Ghz, set Orbi to 36 and the AX router to 48 or higher, like 149 and above. Depending you may have triband AX router. Set each radio accordingly.&nbsp;

You can use two&nbsp;separate wifi sources, Orbi and whatever, side by side.
&nbsp;
I have an R7800 and an Orbi network sitting close to each other. Never seen any problems.
&nbsp;
I use different SSIDs.

No, the satellite will connect to the RBR in AP mode.
