Nighthawk - wifi mesh compatible?
ive got the Nighthawk AX8 AX6000, and live in apartment with brick walls. suffering with many dead spots for wifi. If i buy a couple mesh wifi extenders will it work with this router ?
Sorry dude i suck at explaining myself when it comes to these things.
Here is the model number included: NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 AX1800 Mesh System (RBK353)
Model # RBK353-100AUS
So i should explain: i have an NBN modem already provided by Aussiebroadband, so that 3 pack system above, 1 should be a router that plugs into the nbn modem, and the other two mesh extenders .
Do the 2 extenders need to feed off the orbi router only?

That makes sense. Just one possible fly in the ointment, is that NBN modem a plain modem or one of those fancy boxes that also does router stuff? I can't tell from your description. That can complicate matters.
We also still don't know what your existing Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 is. But if it is a standard router that plays nicely with your modem, it should be a simple case of replacing that with the RBR350 from the RBK353 bundle.

The Orbi satellites talk to the Orbi router. (You can't use them with a connection to your existing router.) Mostly this is a wifi connection, but where it is possible you can also wire satellites to the router. That's something to think about when you have got the Mesh system up and running.
- The router is RAX80 model number
The NBN modem is ARRIS CM8200 looks basic to me.
