Two Orbi routers in the same Orbi network
Hello! I have an older Orbi RBK 50 router and a satellite from autumn 2018 and now I bought a bit newer RBK 50 router and a satellite. I tried to study how to use another router in AP mode connected ...
I understand your approach and would like to see how to make a RBK50 router behave like a satellite. I don't think thats possibe, though. Maybe you can disable the wifi on the new router and use it as a 4 port switch. Seems like a waste.
Buying satellites by themselves is horribly expensive. Paying like $20 more gets you a whole RBK50 kit, which seems like a better deal.
