Can I use AX6600 with Orbi?
Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for your patience as I am new here and I am half-way tech savvy but not with networking gear. I recently moved and started a new system. I got the Orbi (RBS 850) router...
You can use it in access point mode but it won't integrate with the orbi system.
What I do in these situations is set it up in access point mode and make sure its on a different wireless channels (to prevent interference).
Then I either use it to offload the orbi by putting the devices that have fixed locations (aren't mobile), IoT devices, or even just use it as backup.
