• Hello, Fusa. Yes, you may use both models in one network system. However, it is recommended to use the Linksys Velop Tri-Band as the main node.

• The 2-band node has no communication band. If you add two 3-band nodes those two will communicate with each other to select which one is closest to your location. The 2-band node you currently have is left out of the loop with the possibility that it may be connecting with your device while one of the 3-band nodes is doing the same. Analogy: two Captains steering the same ship. Solution: Single tri-band nodes sell for @$150, but you can buy three tri-band nodes as a package for under $300 {Best Buy for example}. Use these three for your system. If you like to experiment, add the 2-band node later to see what problems, if any, are encountered. Have fun!
