Is the MR60 backward compatible with the EX6120 and/or EX6100v2?

I upgraded my home wifi network to the MR60 and satellite MS60 Nighthawk Mesh wifi-6. It so far works great with much-improved data rates and coverage.  I'm sitting here with two AC extenders, the EX6120 and EX6100v2.  I wonder if these two are compatible with the MR60 and could potentially extend my network if I ever wanted or needed to use them.  Is this possible and if so, how would I do this?  Not through the Nighthawk app, I'm assuming.   Any ideas and guidance are appreciated.

  • I presume they should work in a pinch. 

    Best to keep wifi sources to a minimum as there can be too much wifi signal in the home that can cause problems:

    Would use the NH app or a wifi laptop that can connect to the EX setup web page as well.
