So, you want the unnamed Orbi to work as a wireless repeater? Is that even possible?
I have an Orbi router working as a wireless access point on a Powerline Ethernet network with an R7800 at the router end of the network.,
Avoid any arrangement that has two routers on the network. Here's why:

If you're only needing 1 device, you could add a mesh extender. I'm a fan of the triband line as they preserve speeds more than the single/dual band extenders do.

Re: Nighthawk X6 R800 interface with Orbi
R8000 is not compatible with Orbi. You can add a EX8000 to an Orbi system however thats a last resort option if Orbi needs some additional wifi signal coverage.
ARe you planning on running both R8000 and a Orbi system under 1 roof? You can. Just would be separate SSID names and channels between the two systems needs to be far appart.

Re: Nighthawk X6 R800 interface with Orbi
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
