Extending XR700 with MR60 & MS60

Hi, Can I extend my XR700 router with MR60 and MS60 both as extensions?

No. the XR700 isn't a mesh router. 

You can use the MR60 system as an access point system but devices aren't going to seamless roam from the XR700 to the mr60 system. 

 

You could add a mesh extender to the xr700. I'd recommend the triband extenders (ex7500,ex7700,ex8000 or the RBS40V as it has extender mode)

    Hi,Thanks for the swift reply. I already bought the MR60 and MS60, but I cannot get it properly configured as two satellites. What are the proper steps? Or is it noy possible at all?`

      They won't both work as satellites. 

      You can put the mr60 in access point mode and then add the satellite.
