Yes orbi can be set as a AP mode and work with other routers.

You can also ask Comcast to bridge the Wifi network so that there is only one wireless system.&nbsp;

I am running only one wireless using one SSID from Orbi.&nbsp; My Xfinity router is not transmitting Wifi because I had it turned off.

hi&nbsp;good , just pointing out to others as well that its not wise to run the orbi with wifi next to another router with wifi on as well never mind running the same ssid name on both as this would create wifi voodoo :)
