SXR80
I thought I was buying a router and a satellite but I have got two routers. Can I mesh these routers together to form a standalone Wi-Fi? I don’t need internet.

No.

So I need to get an SXS80 to go with my SXR80 to produce a mesh?

Yes. Alternate (with lower performance) SXS50 or SXS30.

The SXR80 is only compatible with the SXS80 and SXS30 satellites.

Using the SXS30 would result in a significant loss of performance.
