    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 tested my two EXs 7500 anfd 7700 and they connect so they seem to work.
