Can I connect an ORBI 960 mesh system to my existing Nighthawk CAX80 modem router?
I currently use a CAX80 wifi modem router but my existing extender sucks and I lose signal strength in my house, because my router is in the back room in my basement, so poor LOS. I know the ORBI me...
Ya since the CAX80 already has wifi, would compete with the 960 series. I recommend putting the CAX80 into modem only mode, then connect up the RBR to the Multi Gig port on the back of the CAX80 in modem only mode:

Connect nothing else to the CAX80.
Will work well this way. How ran my CAX80 with Orbi systems.
