Changing older orbi into access point for latest 960 router.

Hi,

 

My current config CM2000| Orbi RB50 | 3 satelites. If I but one of the latest Orbi mesh routers can I change my config to be like the following:

 

CM2000| Orbi 960 | access point Orbi RB50 | 3 satelites ?

 

Will this work and have the old satelites connect back channel to the “access point” RB50?

Yes you can connect the older orbi setup to the newer AX  with the older in access point mode. The AC satellites will only connect to the AC router.
