ORBI RBR-40 and EX6400 Compatible?

[Vulture]

I have an Orbi RBR-40 set up and want to use an old EX6400 (AC19000 Extender with it.  Is this ppossible and how do I do it?

Is it possible? maybe.

Is it going to function the same as the orbi in terms of mesh? no. 

Would I do it? probably not as it might cause more interference than it helps. 

the only way I'd do it is if you're hardwiring it in and using it as an access point. if you do that, make sure its on a different channel than the orbi is using for the wireless.

Thanks for the 'steer' - think I'll found an alternative.
