Using 2 routers RBR20
I have 2 RBR20 routers. Can I use one of them as satellite or access point? If so, how to configure it?
Model: RBR20|Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Router

Re: Using 2 routers RBR20
You can use one of the routers as an AP by connecting it wired to the first router and set it in AP mode.
Please make sure that the two routers use different radio channels.

Re: Using 2 routers RBR20
My intended connection is gateway router to switch to the 2 rbr20s with one ethernet cable from switch to internet port of first RBR20 and another ethernet cable from switch to the ethernet port of second RBR20. Will this work?

No, you have to connect the cable from a LAN Port from the first RBR20 to the WAN or LAN ports of the second RBR20 (the one in AP mode).
