I currently have an airport express in a remote cabinet and it connects to speakers in my house. I also have an airport time capsule. I am able to play music on my Mac and pipe it throughout the house via the airport express. When I get a Netgear Orbi how can I maintain ability to use airport express to continue to connect to my speakers?

The Express connects to the Orbi wireless network using a wireless connection. I set things up for him. Took some trial and error. Remember, the Express was designed more than 8 years ago, long before "mesh" systems appeared on the market.
The AirPort Express might and might not be able to work with an Orbi system if you will be trying to connect to the Express using the Orbi Wifi. Works for my neighbor, but not all Orbi systems are the same and there are different models of the AirPort Express as well.
This is one of those times when you will simply have to try it out to see if it will work. Post back when you have the Orbi system set up and operating correctly.
How did your neighbor connect the express to his orbi? I would have preferred to stay ALL apple BUT now that apple is obsoleting this stuff I had no choice
