Using 2 Orbi mesh systems for two separate ISPs at same location
I currently have an Orbi RBR20 router and two satellites working with my Spectrum 400Mbps cable internet service. Within the week, I will have AT&T 1Gb Fiber Optic internet service installed in m...

Yes.
I recommend turning down the power output of the Orbi AC system to a lower setting as to not create a noise envrionment when the Orbi AX goes online. Also use far appart channels on each system, i.e. channel 1 on the Orbi AC and channel 11 on the Orbi AX. Same for 5Ghz. Not need to use different SSID name between the two systems as well.
Be sure placement between the systems is far appart as possible as well, 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
That is immensely useful advice-- thank you so much. I will let you know how it goes when it's all set up.

Update: both systems up and running- no interference at all. Turned out to be very easy to do this, after some initial weirdness with the ORBI app, which wanted to eliminate my RBR20 and replace it with the RBR850. A bit of patience and time sorted that out. Thanks very much, again.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
