Can the AXE11000 Router (RAXE500) add satellite receivers to make a Mesh Network?

Im looking into purchasing the NightHawk Tri-band WiFI 6 Router and was wondering can the NightHawk MS 80 - Triband AX3600 be added as a satelite to extend the range of the router.  Does anyone know if Netgear is going to create a mesh system that has a 6GHz channel to reduce network congestion?

    added as a satellite? No

    the RAXE500 isn't a mesh router. 

    The MS80 series need their own mesh router (MR80) to connect back to

      NewSoul, the fact that Linksys has announced a WiFi 6e mesh router suggests that NETGEAR may possibly do the same.
