Routeur AC1900 R7000 - Extension du réseau - Mesh

plemans Thank you for your answer.
If I go for the Netgear Orbi installation, I would have the following configuration:
1 router (from the tel company) not emitting a wifi but connecting 1 Orbi in access point (RJ45), a second Orbi also in access point because of the thick wall and add the third Orbi as mesh extenders.
Doing that, would I have a whole wifi mesh in my house, without need for changing passwd and so on?
Thanks for your reply,
Best regards,

Yes. The Orbi system can be ran in access point mode.

It also supports both wired and wireless backhaul connections and still function properly as a mesh.
