Can add an extender, won't integrate like the MS do.
- Henry1981AspirantAre you saying that the MK satellites are compatible with the MR system?
- Henry1981AspirantSorry, I meant the MS and MR are compatible?

The MK just implies its the full kit of MR and MS together.
But I've found that you can (sometimes) get the full kit for the same or cheaper as just buying a satellite. And then you have a backup router in case the primary fails. Stinks to have so much into satellites and the router fail and struggle to find a new router. I've done that with the orbi's.

do you already have the extender?
Otherwise, those satellites or even refurb/used MK80 systems can be picked up for pretty cheap and integrate fully
