Connect Orbi with XR500
So I won the Orbi system in a raffle and I had just upgraded my router to the XR500. I like the Orbi and was wondering what settings I would have to adjust to make the two work together. I have the XR500 in the living room along with the router for the Orbi. Ive tried a couple different set up and I cant get them working properly. I have no idea what way would be the best if there is even a best way to make them be on the same network or not. Thanks in advanced.

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerWhat exactly is the issue you're having with them?
- romero2412AspirantI’m hardwired to the XR500 and my speeds are only 50-60dl and 10 up. On the Orbi I’m getting what I pay for 400/10. I need the XR500 to get its full potential since that’s what is going to be wired to my PS4. So I guess I want the Orbi to run just WiFi aspects of the home and XR500 to handle the gaming
