SXK80 router as satellite?
Hi all, So I see the SXK80 2 pack on a mega deal, it if I purchased 2 is there any way to use the second router as a satellite or anything else useful?
No. it won't function as a satellite.
You can hardwire it in and use it in access point mode but it won't integrate with the other devices like a satellite.
Hmm figured as much. I might just try out one pair and see how it does.
Does anyone know of a sensible and high speed way to connect my wired NAS over Wi-Fi? I can’t seem to find any Wi-Fi 6 to LAN bridges.

Wi-Fi isn't made for this. Unless you strongly believe in marketing. Possible compromise connect it to the SXS80 satellite where i understand you have two available.
- A network cable isn’t really feasible which is why I’m asking the question 🙂
Originally I was using an Orbi satellite in the loft, but with this it will be expensive, overkill and also cause interference being so close to the next satellite. (The room almost directly below)- Forgot to mentions its a Synology DS923+ used mainly for backup and hosting some media files for the TVs.
