RAX120 AX12 compatible with the Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System

Hello! I have the RAX120 AX12 router and recently obtained the Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System. Are these 2 systems not compatible? I am unable to figure out how to do the set up any walk throughs would be helpful, if not able to set up as a Mesh is this able to be set up as a access point and how? (walkthrough please) TIA ~Brian

  • they don't integrate. 

    What actual mesh system is it? (model number)

    But you could go: 

    RAX120 (router mode)------>Mesh system (setup in AP mode)

    Again, they wouldn't integrate because the RAX isn't a mesh router but you could set it with a seperates ssid and use it as a backup or even as a primary router because it'll have faster peak speeds with the mesh providing overall coverage
