Orbi AX6000 and AX4200 together

Hi this is my first post so really appreciate any help.

 

I have bought today the AX6000 and the AX4200. The sales person said I could use the 6000 as the router and one satellite and the AX4200 as two other satellites (big house).

 

I managed to get the ax6000 setup no issue with the satellite. After a few goes the AX4200 satellite finally paired but no matter what I do the AX4200 router will not be added as a satellite. I push sync and it goes through the process and then says it cannot locate a satellite.

 

Do these two products work together? If so, what stupid thing am I doing? Greatly appreciate any help thank you

  • The AX4200 I a router and satellite. You will not be able to use the router with the AX6000, but can use the satellite. You would be better to get the RBK853 AX6000 1 router 2 satellite
  • Be sure to post over in the Orbi AX Forum for your model Orbi:
