Are there specific range extenders available for the Orbi Ax6000. Will any model of the AC range extenders work? Kindly reply. Many thanks in advance.

I'm currently using an EAX80 extender connected wirelessly to the Orbi AX6000 to get higher LAN speeds, but have turned off the wireless broadcast of the EAX80. The EAX80 connects at WIFI 6 speeds and setup was straight forward. Have had no stability issues since setting up the EAX80.

I think currently the RBS50Y is comaptible in extender mode. Not sure about the EAX80 extender. I would ask NG support to see.

  Sure thanks much for the reply. But for the cost of that I could buy another statellite that is compatible. I was wondering if the EX6100 or anything like that would work.

    Something that may or may not be compatible. I have a EX7500 and 7700 which I have however I haven't had a chance to test to see if they connect to my Orbi AX or not.
