XR1000+Orbi
Can I mix and match Netgear XR100 and Netgear Orbi and make them work together somehow? Goal is to have the gaming options on the XR1000 and stability of the Orbi working together in tandem?

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 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?

2400 sq ft. Orbi and satellite(1 connected right now) are more than 30 feet apart.
I believe channels are set to auto. It’s working right now so I’m afraid to touch lol but I’m not sure if it’s set to the optimal settings. I’d like it to be.
I left the wifi on on the XR1000.
A few neighbors nearby.
