Add a Night hawk mesh system to my existing Nighthawk router
I have an existing Nighthawk XR1000V2. I just purchased a Nighthawk AX3000 Mesh system. I would like to continue using the XR1000 as the router and have all of the kit (including the MR70 Router/Satellite) act as satellites. Anyone know how exactly to do this? TIA
Equiopment list: Nighthawk AX1000, MR70, MS70 (X2)
Disable the XR1000s radios and configure the MR for AP mode:

Would the Nigthhawk XR1000v@ be one of those designed for this purpose? I purchased an AX300 mesh system. I wanted to add all three devices including the MR70 as satellites to my extisting router (XR1000v2). I can't figure out how to set it up though.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
