I have 3 of the SXK80 (2 routers and 1 point) and 2 of the SXK50 (1 router and 1 point). My thought was to use 1 SXK80 as router, and bridge the other SXK80 router, as well as bridge the SXK50 router to more or less have 1 Main router and 4 points...?

Would I be correct in my thinking/process?

@BMiglionico,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

It is possible to have just one SXR80 function as a router as long as the others are running in AP mode; however, there could be difficulty with setting up the satellites in which you'd usually have to perform a factory defaults and sync them if you're going to connect them wirelessly.

 

Ideally, an Orbi Pro network consists of just one router and multiple satellites in which the maximum is 6 (please check this KB article for your reference).
