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.
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.
The thing is that I have only one so far ))
But I cannot purchase a satellite here - only the second router... That's why I was asking all this questions.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
