Hi, i read somewhere maximum of 6 satellites SXR80 can be attached to AX600 router, is this correct? - if so what other system do you recommend to have more satellites? We would like to add more than 6,
thank you,

Tell us a little bit more what is the idea driving this direction please?
Mode Bandwidth?
Additional coverage?
More wireless clients?
Any network cabling available in the buildings?
Other?
THank you, looking to add additonal coverage.
The formal answer would be adding an additional Orbi Pro WiFi 6 system in AP (Access Point) mode.
This would require a wired connection from the existing SXR80 router LAN port to the additional SXR80 serving as the dedicated base station. Needless to say, this needs to be in a place central to the newly added SXS80, ideally in a different area of your building, on a different floor along with the new satellites.
Honestly, is most deployments, this isn't possible. I would look into possibilities to implement a -real- network, with some PoE switch(es), forming a reliable wired backhaul, and install wireless access points. Yes, this requires a lot of network wiring.
Tell us more about your building, so you might convince me there is no other way 8-)
