Mesh system for my home
Hello, I have aquired the nighthawk x4 extender. However I did not know any of the mesh function until I received the package. I want to make a mesh system for my home. I am assuming I need to chang...
I have a acrux 1200 nexxt router, I want to have my own mesh system around my home, I already have mesh netgear router.

What's that? Are you using it as well as a Netgear router?
If so beware this:

No, I do not have a netgear router, that was a typo,
https://www.nexxtsolutions.com/connectivity/internal-products/ARL02124U1, this is the router I am currently using.
In addition, I am using a netgear extender. (Nighthawk X4 AC2200 Model#EX3700).
What I am looking for is a good mesh system for my home, using the netgear extender since I already have it.
So, I probably need to change my nexxt router to a better netgear router with mesh function.
So I was wondering if you could recommend me a good router(s) to make my own mesh system in my place.

The EX3700 is not a Mesh device. It is a now somewhat aged (2015) conventional extender, without the technology needed to do Mesh.

That is not a Mesh router either, from what I can see.

I have looked up the NETGEAR Nighthawk Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK62), wonde if would work with my extender
like michaelkenward says, the EX3700 isn't a mesh extender. Its a fairly base model dual band extender.
The MK62 is a solid system and works well for base model mesh systems (dual band).
If your home is large are you using a lot of bandwidth, you might look at a triband system like the MK82 or triband orbi's.
I have seen the EX3700 connected to mesh systems but not integrated into the mesh. Just as its own network/extender setup. it works
plemans I noticed you are using a mesh system and a router in your setup. Do I need to have a router + mesh system?
