RBR50 /RBS50 with Panoramic Wifi Modem

Thank you in advance for any advice.

I have a Cox Panoramic Wifi modem and want to know if it is possible to use the RBR50 as a sattelite and not as a router? I would like to be able to extend my wifi area.

Thank you!

    You can use Access Point mode on the RBR50. Set the RBR to have the same SSID, password, and encryption as the Cox WiFi. Better to set Cox and Orbi on different channels though in both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
