    Hi jmpedron,

    Thanks for your question. Nighthawk X6S is intended to work with any router or gateway and provide extreme speed and coverage by using one of the tri-band radios to connect with the router. It can work with Orbi but cannot connect to the dedicated backhaul of Orbi since Orbi is a closed system.
