Orbi and EX8000
I recently replaced my R6400 and EX8000 extender with an Orbi RBK40 and one satellite. However, I need an ethernet port in the room where the etender was previously located so I tried to get the EX8...
After numerous tries with their senior tech support staff, they basically said it would not work.
I threw the Orbi in the trash where it and their support belongs.

Here is that second screen shot of it working.
