Home Network Makeover - xfi mesh replacement

250 year old stone farmhouse and barn. Cat-6 line connecting house to barn House has XB6 modem router with xfi mesh. Trying to install AX1800 router in barn. If enable bridge mode in XB6 xfi mesh will not work. Seems like an incompatibility issue. Should I replace XB6 - if so with what? Any suggestions for replacing mesh network -

    So in the barn you're setting up the new router (hint ax1800 isn't a model) and you're wanting to use the xfi, then put the ax1800 in access point mode. This prevents the double nat and lets you use the xfi as well
