I purchased two AX1800 MK63 sets from Costco. Can I use the second router as a satellite? Does it need to be set to bridge mode? How many satellites can I add in total? Can I hard wire one of the satellites or the second router to help boost signal across the house?

JHAnd , the router on MK63 cannot function as an additional satellite. You can use the satellites from the second kit to pair with the first kit using the sync/Add Satellite from the Nighthawk App using a wired or wireless connection. It's recommended to limit the number of satellites to 3 or less to get the best performance/coverage.
