Sataliites on RAX50?

I have a Nighthawk RAX50 router and I am wondering if I can use the new MS60 Satalites with this router since my router has Smart Connect turned on. Would it work properly if so an automaticlly connect me to whatever has the strongest signal? If not do I have any options? I a have ethernet ran throughout the house already but the upstairs oppisite side of the house is very weak. I am currently using a TP-Link extender and its not really workin out like i had hoped. It has an AP mode but it doesnt seem to actually work like its suppose to.

    No. 

    The MS60 wouldn't work as a satellite.

    It needs the MR60 to act as a controlling router.  

    You could any of the mesh extenders.
