Nighthawk R8000 as Router and (2) R6300v2 as wireless repeaters
Is it possible to setup the Nighthawk R8000 as the primary Router (connected to Cox modem) and then setup (2) R6300v2 as repeaters WIRELESSLY?
Moved to a 4000SF house with vaulted ceiling. Limited attic access to run ethernet cables to connect devices which we had done in prior home.
Need to connect the router and the older routers under SAME SSID using wireless connection.
Is it possible?
If so, how do I accomplish that goal?

I don't see that the R6300v2 supports repeater/extender mode with stock firmware.
If you can hardwire them in,you could use them in access point mode.
- So the wireless connection with the R6300v2 units is useless. No problem
What about connecting a UBIQUITI AMPLIFI HD-R mesh system to the Nighthawk R8000 AC3200 to extend the signal?
Could I essentially position the UBIQUITI Router next to the Nighthawk Router and hardwire connect with a Cat6 cable?
Then could I position the UBIQUITI Antennas in the far points of the home upstairs & downstairs?
Trying to find effective workaroundsI've never used the ubiquiti setup but in theory it should work fine
