Yes but turn off the wifi on the time capsule and use Ethernet to plug into the orbi router. Basically use it in bridge/AP mode.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a 3TB time Capsule the best way is to make the time capsule grab an IP address from the orbi so you can still do you back ups
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't bother. The appeal of the Orbi is that is uses it's own independent wireless signal to communicate with the included satellite router - allowing for faster wifi speeds. You will be throwing money away if you used it as a typical wifi extender. I have an Apple airPort Express added to my Orbi network (not used to extend the signal) so I may continue to play music through an attached stereo system. I am not certain if you can continue to use the TimeCapsule features you set up the Orbi as your main router and simply add the TimeCapsule to the existing network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. It does not. But you don't need a time capsule device as Orbi router / satellite combo covers 4000+ square feet home with better wifi
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Orbi router can either replace the Time Capsule as your main router or run alongside it in access point mode.
