You can literally run it like the one in my signature.
modem-----RAX200------Orbi-----orbi satellites.
Mine works great. I have the RAX for controlling everything as well as peak wireless speeds and then orbi for overall coverage. the orbi is setup in AP mode to prevent a double nat.

You can extend it with something like the EX8000 or EAX80 mesh extenders. They work great but in my experience, they only work when you're using 1.
When you need more than 1, moving to a full mesh system like orbi is a better plan.

1 is not enough for example if i want to move to orbi, orbi does have 1 router while i do have RAX200 i dont want to replace it with Orbi router does the orbi system will works as wifi extender ?

My house is 2 -story brick walled house. ( old Craftman built in the early 1900's) , about 2800 sq ft, and a separate garage structure with guest house about 100 feet away
So , my network finally work well as far as extending the WiFi signal throughout the house and the garage.
Modem -->RAX120--> RBS40V2 ( as an extender)
--> EX7300 as an extender for both 2.4g and 5g signals.
The network system works so well, particularly eliminating the deadpots in my house effectively.
