Nighthawk AX3000 Mesh from Costco
I purchased, from Costco, the Netgear Nighthawk WiFi Mesh (AX3000 or MK73). The system works well, but I am in need of adding a third satellite to the system. The only Nighhawk satellites available...

Do you need more MS?
The system seems new and thus not sure if any other MS models are compatible.

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

The only Nighhawk satellites available are the MS60 (AX1800) and MS80 (AX3600). Which of these satellites is going to work with the MK73? My assumption is the MS60, but cannot find an answer.

The two satellites cover the house well. They also give me coverage at our dock. The reason a 3rd satellite is needed is to access our cameras on the dock. The camera system requires a wired connection, which I can get on a satellite. I've tried a network extender, but to view on your cellphone both cameras and cell have to be on the same network.

If you connected a extender, the extender should be on the same network if it's in extender mode and not creating a separate network.
