Connect wifi extender to Orbi AX4200

I have an Orbi AX4200/CBK752.  I have ADT Pulse system with wireless cameras.  The further camera from the Orbi router frequently goes offline.  ADT recommends Netgear wifi extender model WN3000RP.  Can these older extenders be added to Orbi?  Ironically, the camera that goes offline is only 10' from the Orbi satellite but it won't connect to the satellite.

    Yes. Should work ok. Something to try.

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

    What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
