Kyle Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Can I mix and match Netgear XR1000 and Netgear Orbi and make them work together somehow? Goal is to have the gaming options on the XR1000 and stability of the Orbi working together in tandem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2023 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2023 In theory you should be able to, modem > XR > Orbi, I'd suggest having the Orbi in AP mode if possible so the XR1000 can still control all devices Kyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Great. Thank you. I’m on fiber so no modem but it’s the same concept, correct? Also any other setting on the Orbi I should be changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly, AP mode is all that would need to be changed on the Orbi, it will likely take away lots of settings that are no longer applicable Kyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Orbi satellites continue working as a mesh system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to consult the Orbi manual regarding that but I don't see why they wouldn't work Kyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
