Xr300 + mesh
Can i use xr300 as main router and somehow connect mr60 mesh to same wifi ?
It isnt possible go have different ssid för 2.4 ans 5ghz on the mr60 mesh.
Often problem ro cast to Chromecast ans i believe it is because Chromecast and mobile device is in diffrent bands

You can connect the XR300 to the MR60 system but not integrated. The XR300 isn't a mesh router.
You'd probably want to go:
XR300 (in router mode)------>MR60 (in access point mode)
This would prevent a double nat situation.
you'd want to name their wireless ssid's something different from each other as well as ensure they aren't on the same wireless channels. this would prevent interference.

- Cola-CoffeAspirantYes this works better Thx. I connected the Chromecast to 5ghz ssid from xr300 and let other devices use other ssid from mr60 mesh .
To bad you can't har different ssids on mr60 mesh
