Extending Orbi with EX3700
I have a Netgear EX3700 extender that I'd like to use as an Extender and install in a nearby shop building and connect it to the closest sattelite on my Orbi RBK23 system. But it doesn't seem to be w...
Does anyone know if the Netgear AC750 (or AC1200) are able to daisy chain off an Orbi Sattelite, and act as another sattelite ?

The answer to this is very clear. No way. Never. Can't be done. Only an Orbi "satellite" has the firmware needed to act as a "satellite".
I still think it should be possible to connect an "extender" as an "extender". The "satellite" functions simply will not apply. For example, when a device "roams" from one Orbi toward another, the Orbi's communicate and use WiFi standard protocols to suggest that the device move from one access point to the other. Not going to happen with the extender.
