“I have my Orbi all set up and running great. My question is, I had an Amped Wireless REA20 extender in my previous set up, which I kept but took offline, I'm wondering if I can put it back in play with the Orbi setup? Just want to spread coverage more”

yes you can I still have my running but just to my main home computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can do anything you want but the extender will remain as its own SSID, and you will have to manually go back and forth between the networks. Also the performance from the extender will be cut in half as always due to the nature of extenders which have to receive and repeat on the same radio.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can, however your signal from that REA20 would woork at a theoretical half speed as it would be working as a extender/repeater. So any wifi signal used from the REA20 would be slower by quite a bit. If you add a third orbi unit, it would not effect speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Why are you even asking this? Just try it and find out. The answer is most likely yes, but it'll end up being on a different SSID. If I were you, I'd just sell the Amped and get another Orbi Satellite.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We recommend contacting Amped to see if their extenders are universally compatible.
