Can I use MS80 Satellite with RS280 router ?
Hello, I wonder if I can use MS80 Satellite with my RS280 Router ? I know there is newer MS90 WiFi 7 that is compatible. However, I want to use MS80 is compatible as cheaper option. Thank ...
No.
MS can only connect to there perpective model MR units:

Give a EAX80 series a try. I have one that I connect to my RS600 when I have it online. Works good. Just no 6Ghz on the EAX series.
Do you think my phone will disconnect from EAX80 and switch to RS280 when I go to the room where my RS280 is (if EAX still has strong signal) ? Currently, my phone is getting 40-50Mbps (stable) without extender in the farthest room (I am not sure if I want to spend $200 to get it to 600Mbps). Currently, in the room with the RS280 I get 1.1Gbps on the phone. I was looking at this MR/MS devices as more affordable option. Thank you for taking time to respond to my questions.
All that is up to the phone and how it roams. Techincally it should if the signal on the phone from the RS gets low enough.
