Nighthawk AX1800 (RAX10) wifi router
My current set up: Nighthawk AX1800 (RAX10) wifi router, connected to a Netgear wifi cable modem. If I want to add the Mesh 6 system, do i need to: replace the Mesh 6 router with the existing RAX10 ...

So here's what I have:
Netgear Cable Modem
Nighthawk AX1800 RAX10 wifi router
I added an AX1800 MK62 Mesh Router / satellite
I want to add another satellite. So I bought another MK62 2 pack, as it was cheaper than just buying one satellite.
- I want to connect the satellite from that box set to the already put in service MK62 Router. I will bag the extra router for another day.

Doubtless your trade has its own set of tools.
Telling someone in your trade that you used a "digger" would probably elicit questions about which digger. There's more than one of them out there.

OK. That's a standard cable modem only device. Nothing of a router nature to get in the way.

The MR60 and the RAX10 are pretty similar in performance. Using both would just add extra ssid's/interference.
What I'd do is go
CM1000---Mr60----->satellites
You can add the extra satellite to the system as needed. I'd hold onto the other MR60 (router) that you have for a backup in case the main one fails. That way you don't have a bunch of useless satellites as they need the controlling router.
I'd probably sell the RAX10 unless you need it for something else.
