One can also connect EX series extenders, i.e. EX7500, 7000, 7700 or 8000 series.

I assumed as much, but it was worth asking! Thanks for responding 🙂

The huge difference between satellites and WiFi extenders is the degree of integration. (This is why "mesh" systems were developed.) WiFi devices do not roam seamlessly between WiFi routers and extenders the way they do between units of a mesh system. That makes extenders a wonderful solution for WiFi devices that are not mobile, but often irritating for mobile devices.
