Use Existing Router?
I have an existing Linksys EA8300 router that works fine. Can I use it as my router and make the Orbi router a satellite without negatively effecting performance of the mesh network? Will I get better coverage using the Orbi router as a satellite? TIA.

The router can't be used as a satellite.
But it can be hardwired into the linksys. then you'd setup the orbi in access point mode to prevent a double nat.
