NGs EX7500, 7700 and 8000 model extenders work with Orbi AX. There extenders only so the backhaul will not be used when these are connected. Works in a pinch though. I believe the EAX80 works as well however thats a bit more expensive.

Make sure the FW is up to date on EX7700 before trying to connect it. It may not connect initially. I just updated mine yesterday and will working. :smileyvery-happy:

Will do. Thanks for the tip. Does it connect into the existing 5Ghz backhaul channel of the existing Orbi system to get the internet feed and then distribute via its own 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz channels? I guess it does as it is tri band. For my 2 orbi satellites I have one connected via etghernet, and one connects via 5ghz back haul. Will the EX7700 work in the same fashion as the second satellite i mentioned.
Thanks, but of a novice so appreciate the assistance!
