Will this work with an Apple AIRPORT wifi extender null

Are you asking if the Linksys will bridge for the Airport or vice versa? Unfortunately, Apple has discontinued Airport technology to focus on its core business. The Airport can act as a bridge and so can the Linksys. Depending upon the age of the Airport, you may not want to do this. My AirPort Extreme-N was having dementia. I needed a faster router with whole house options. It’s best NOT to mix old/new technology or different brands if possible. It’s SO easy to use the Linksys interface to setup a base or bridge instead of using multiple apps.

Hi, esmaldon. The MR8300 is only designed to work with the Velop models. However, if you have an existing network, you can cascade the router instead or set it to Bridge mode.
