Can I use AX1800 as satellites for the XR1000
I’m thinking about buying a XR1000 router for gaming, but I don’t need the EAX80’s for the rest of my house. Is it possible to use the AX1800 system as the satellites for the MESH-6?
You can put the MK62/63 sytstem in access point mode. That'd let the XR1000 manage all the routing with the MK63 system handling the wireless. The XR1000 won't work as part of the wireless mesh though. Just something to keep in mind.
and if you hardwire in the MK62 system, it'll function quite well. I wouldn't go with the mk62 if you plan on using its wireless backhaul. Being dual band leaves much to be desired in terms of performance.
Duma was designed to control devices connected directly to the router, it does work with Access Point but sometimes it's not great ie a tad buggy but in wireless you have the wireless devices as well and it just gets messy.
When I say wireless devices that includes the WAP. It's not meant for that sadly
