Extender compatible with ORBI..?
I’ve got an ORBI setup and need to add an extender that allows me to define a separate network name... so adding an extra ORBI satellite isn’t going to work. I was recommended a Nighthawk EX7700 wi...
try installing version 1.0.0.206. Factory reset it after the update.
When you set it up, hardwire into the extender for setup. Make sure to disable the mesh/one ssid feature when you set it up.
Thanks for the response. The Orbi outdoor/voice are kind of pricey solutions though.
I was told the EX7700 would work with ORBI as long as it wasn’t in MESH mode. I couldn’t get it working and Netgear support eventually conceded it didn’t work.

Do you still have it?
What firmware version is on it?
others have gotten it working as well.
Which version of orbi do you have?
- I can’t remember the firmware version right now but I tried to update it and it said it was up to date.
Does that help?
Netgear talked me into setting up as a mesh router in the last call so it takes the WiFi out if it’s on now.

Netgear talked me into setting up as a mesh router in the last call so it takes the WiFi out if it’s on now.some times the auto update doesn't pull the latest firmware. That's why its always good to check.
and potentially netgear support didn't know about the newest. Do you still have it?
- The nighthawk app is telling me it’s running V1.0.0.188.
