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.

      Hi,

       

      Can I connect the EX7700(s) wired to the XR700? I have ethernet on every Floor.

       

      Thanks!

        yes you can wire the EX7700 into the xr with the ex7700 in access point modem. Problem will be that it won't function as mesh/onessid. That function only runs when its used as an extender.
