Using ORBI with Nighthawk router
I have an ORBI RBR850 and RBR50 in AP mode. I'm doing this because I need 2 Outdoor satellites to reach further on a 2+ acre site. Total of 6 satellites in use. I'd like to add a separate system for...
If your leaving the Orbi system in AP mode then yes, can be connected to a NH router thats in router mode. I'd disable the wifi radios on the NH router.
The RBR850 is the main router. It is connected to my Internet provider. The RBR50 is in AP mode and Ethernet connected to an RBR850 port. I need to utilize wifi on the NH router because there are a multitude of IoT devices in the barn. Thoughts? Thanks!!
What's the size of this home?
Having too much wifi may also be problematic.

The house is only about 2500 sq/ft, 2 story, but the area I need to cover is about 2 acres. My ISP connection is on the 2nd floor. The barn (metal bldg) I need to reach is about 150 feet from the router and 110 ft from an existing RBS50Y. Thanks....
