QuestionI already have the Orbi AC3000 Tri-Band Whole Home WiFi System and want to extend the signal. Is this what I need and does it have plugged into the ATT modem via ethernet cable or does it pick up the Wi-Fi from the other satellite? Thanks!
Asked 8 years ago by Davidtn.
- Answer Yes this is the one you need. Make sure you get the Satellite. It works great to extend wifi through the entire house..

QuestionDoes anyone know if this works with the rural service provider airlink? We pay $120 a month for internet that is supposed to be fast enough for my son to play PlayStation on and we can barely watch Netflix without buffering
Asked 8 years ago by Amberly75.
- Answer WiFi is made of 2 different things: internet link (the actual internet data that is sent to your house) and wifi router (which spreads that internet data accross the rooms) If your internet link (provided by airlink) is not fast enough no wifi router in the world would fix that. If the internet link is decent but the power of the current wifi router is not good enough to make the signal reach your tv, then this netgear might solve your problem.

QuestionCan you just use the extender with a netgear nighthawk x6 router
Asked 8 years ago by Ralph.
- Answer No the oribi can only work with the router orbi because the satellite works off 3 bands so it's a slave to the router orbi.

QuestionWill it work with CABLE MODEM combo with DOCSIS 3.0?
Asked 8 years ago by Robert.
- Answer This satellite can only talk wirelessly back to an Orbi Router. This is an add-on satellite (extender) for an existing Orbi Router system. The Orbi Router (sold seperately) can be used in AP mode with a Cable modem Router combo and not change anything with your current setup, but I would consider turning off the wireless and routing functions in the router part of the cable modem and just let the Orbi Router handle the Routing functions instead. Depends on which routing functions you want more, those provided by the existing cable modem/router, or those that could be provided by the Orbi Router.

QuestionWill an orbi satellite sync with another orbi satellite? I purchased an add on satellite to go with the orbi router and satellite I currently use. The add-on would be much closer to the satellite than the router.....perhaps too far away from the router.
