RAX80 with Orbi outdoor

[Harks11]

I have a RAX 80 main router with two EX7700 mesh extenders for previous setup. However none of these is suitable for outdoors. Can I connect in an Orbi Outdoor unit to this system and keep the one network name.

Thanks, do you know if it keeps the same network name, Cheers

Well that worked well. Just tick the box for same ssid and password. Very happy with the outcome.
