Extending my mesh WiFi 6 MR60/MS60
I have MR60 MS60 WiFi6 mesh
I need another satellite (MS60)
However, I cannot buy this in the uk, from uk website. It is avail in US but they will not post.
I have asked about WiFi booster EX7700 and was told this will act as extender but not satellite.
I am therefore assuming it will only connect to the existing satellite 80211.n rather than 802.11ax
Is that right, ie only a shared 400Mb rather than Gb ?
I also assume it will propagate my axisting WiFi SSID rather than create a new WiFi SSID is that right too ?
That's kind of ok but I was just checking.
Wonder why I cannot buy the satellite in UK though. Annoying

It could be a stock issue with it not being available.
What you can check on is guying another kit and just selling the MR60 and keeping the satellites.
I've seen that done a lot.
in terms of the ex7700, you might actually see better performance than if you used a ms60 satellite.
Reason why is the ex7700 is a triband and has a dedicated backhaul. So even though its backhaul is 866mbps (link speed) its dedicated and that's ALL its used for. I haven't tested it (don't have that system) but it was the main benefit of the triband extenders and why the triband mesh systems work better.
