Adding a access point to my AX6000 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi Router with one satellite
My house is a large "U" shape, with lots of wood and items on the walls. I have the Orbi AX6000 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi Router with one satellite. I'm looking to use my old nighthawk AX8 Wi-Fi 6 Exten...
So setting it up on a different channel and a different SSID, means this will work, but not as a continuous mesh . Guessing AP can not be part of a Mesh system.

Correct, it doesn't integrate with the mesh so you don't want it to have the same ssid or your roaming will tend to be "sticky" and not roam very efficiently. You can set it not to broadcast but then whats the point of it?
