i agree the cax80 gave me better speeds but fell off as it has to be located upstairs in front room of house and the house is heavily shielded as i live near Luke afb in AZ. So i can use my cax80 and put the mr60 and 2 ms60 sats in access point mode ? would I just leave the wireless channels on auto so they don't overlap? would this set up act like a mesh still or would I still have to manually connect to the closest router/AP for example one side of the house to another with my iPad or will it do it automatically for me like the mesh system. Sorry for all the questions lol I've never had an issue with the Wi-Fi speeds until now

I would disable the wifi radios on the CAX while you test the MK system in AP mode.
30 feet or more is recommended in between MR📡 and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
For MESH systems, it's up to the connecting device to pick and choose where they connect too.

Which bit? Wifi? Router? All of it?
The devil is in the detail.
