Orbi accessory compatibility

A customer of ours recently installed an Orbi system, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting an Iogear wireless bridge to connect to the Orbi; it's an older product and I'm happy to replace it, but would like recommendations on an Orbi-compatibile bridge. Thanks.

Re: Orbi accessory compatibility

You don't see to many "bridges" these days. 

lately you more see people buy a wireless extender with an ethernet port. 

then you can simply connect that and hardwire a device into it. 

I've connected an EX6400 and and EX8000 to mine without issues.

I haven't tried any of the more base model extenders but I've seen others use the ex2700/ex3700 on the forums. 

 

Or you could just use an orbi satellite and use the ethernet ports on it.

Thanks - mostly we work with commercial equipment, not that familiar with DIY stuff
