R8000p in a mesh setup

I have recently purchased two Nighthawk mesh wifi 6 devices (MS60) to try to extend internet to my summer house. Are the MS60s compatible with the r8000p nighthawk router? If so how do you set them up...

I have a R8000P too and have real issues with my WiFi (see the topic I've started yesterday). So I'm looking for a possibility to create a mesh network with the R8000P as a router. I don't 

want to switch between networks, so everywhere in my house I want to use the same network, so that all connected devices (iPhones, iPads, TV, iMacs and other stuff as lamps) can communicate with each other.

 

Is it possible to create a mesh network with a R8000P and which device should I buy to realize this?

 

Thanks for your help.

TheodlR You can add mesh extenders but I don't recommend using more than 1 extender. After that I'd recommend moving to a full mesh system. If you need more assistance, I'd recommend starting your own thread.
