Adding Nighthawk RAX80 as Access Point to Orbi 960 Setup
I recently purchased an Orbi 960 3-pack and have it setup. Quite pleased with its performance and stability. That said, I have a remote lower level where the I'd like to add an Access Point for imp...
You don't need to have the RAX and the RBKE separated by any distance. You just need to make sure they're using different wifi channels to prevent interference. I'd also have them using a different ssid so your devices roam properly on the ORbi system.
There are quite a bit cheaper AP's out there than the RAX if you're just needing if for a small low bandwidth area. I've seen some of the WAX access points go for that $40-75 when on sale (not on the netgear site)

The reason for my mentioning the RAX80 is that I have one from a previous installation and thought it might make for a good solution.
Your suggestion for using a different channels / SSID makes sense.
Thanks again.
