Why can't you extend it with the 960 as an AP?
So it's official, you can't extend an Orbi 970 network with anything but a 970 satellite. I tried the 'mesh range extender' it was a no-go. I tried my old 960 router as a AP, and that didn't work ei...
AP mode does not extend or integrate the wifi signal coming from a Orbi system. Only adds another wireless signal to a system. Could use same SSID name and PW, however channels would need to be far appart on 2.4 and 5Ghz. Also 960 series is not compatible as a satellite or integrate into the 970 series system.
