AX6000 WiFi Orbi pro SXR80 cpnnecting 2 routers (one onstead of a satellite)
Hi! I have the SXR80 Orbi pro router. Kindly advise - can I connect it not to a satellite, but to another same router, so that they extend the range and work (two paired SXR80 routers) the same as a ...
Simple answer? No. you can't.
More complex, you can connect them together with the 2nd in AP mode but devices won't roam as easily/efficiently.
If you're truly wanting a mesh system, just use a router and the satellites.
SXS50 or SXS30 are compatible, at some lower performance of course.
And in terms of performance the second SXR80 will be on top (though without normal roaming), correct?
- Sell-off the additional router, or keep it as a spare or test device. Of course, you could add the second router (which does add complexity) and operate it as a standalone access point.
