Can I connect a Wi-Fi Extender to my Orbi Router?

Can I connect a Netgear WN2500RP WiFi extender to my router? If so how do I connect them?

Yes you can connect a extender to orbi but it will create another separate network with a new SSID. And you connect the extender with the normal setup of the extender.
