Use my old Orbi AC3000 as an Extender for Nighthawk AX12

Is it possible to use my orbi as an WiFi extender for my new Nighthawk AX12 WiFi 6 system?

You can use it as an access point if you can hardwire it in. 

Similar to how I have mine setup. I run a CAX80 (used to use the RAX200) and then its hardwired into my orbi router and then to satellites. 

I do this for the extra coverage orbi provides. 

If you do this, just make sure to seperate out the wireless channels so the routers aren't interfering with each other.
