MK62 — Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System - Adding other products

Hello everyone,

 

I recently purchased these (https://www.netgear.com/au/home/wifi/mesh/mk62/

 

If I bought one of these (https://www.netgear.com/au/home/wifi/routers/rax40/) would my existing mesh units connect wirelessly? ie. have the RAX40 Unit where my internet port is and then have one MK62 unit in the loungeroom extending wirelessly and the other in the bedroom? 

 

Or would I need to have one of them connected to the router directly? 

 

I tried with chat support but they were not able to assist me.

 

Thanks!

  • They wouldn't integrate together as part of the mesh. 

    You can buy additional satellites if you need them.

      Thank you! Whenever I try to put my current modem into bridge mode it cuts out the whole network so I’m looking for another modem to run these off

        What modem do you have? 

        What firmware is on the router/satellites? 

        what do you mean it cuts off? (more details on this)
