Thank you for the information about the capability issues with the Orbi router / satellites. After discussion, the intent in the first place was to just extend the router we have, Nighthawk RAXE500. We will keep the PS's hardwired, but with all the other equipment needing wi-fi, that is where the extenders would come into play. Do you have any recommendations for a system that would extend the Nighthawk? Your help is greatly appreciated for this non-techie person.

Though the EAX80 doesn't have 6Ghz, I'd check out a EAX80 wifi extender if your just wanting to extend some of the wireless.

The house if 1800 sq ft.
Would you happen to know how many ports the Orbi router has? We would need at least 4 ports if we were to go the Orbi way.
