Hello DanaJones,&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thanks for your response!
&nbsp;
Your old orbi system can be used to create a separate network on that part of your ranch. However, it will not be connected to your RBE771 network and may require advanced configuration.

Hello DanaJones,

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

I understand that you would like to use your existing satellite to extend the network of your Orbi router (RBE771). However, the RBS20 is not compatible with your RBE771.

I live rural and am provided with Internet by a Point to Point wireless network called Ranch Wifi.&nbsp; Can my old&nbsp; Orbi 15 be utilized as a separate network for use to expand internet coverage to another part of our ranch provided I have Ethernet and Power? Thank you!

Can try AP mode configuration with the old Orbi system. Would need to make sure distances is far from the new Orbi system and using far apart wifi channels as well.&nbsp;
