Sweet! This is a great solution. So this new Wifi system is like an add on to the existing model? Can you buy the add-on seperately to extend your network if you already have an XR500? And can you use multiple add-ons to create a wider mesh?

Ya you can buy the EX8000 or EX7700 as add-on. Not sure how many you could add on though. Like Orbi, they support up to 3 extenders officially. Users have posted having 6. Though the XR are only dual band routers, sans the XR700, the EX are tri band extenders. Would be interesting to see how many an XR would handle. My one does great with the XR450.
