Can I use nighthawk router with nighthawk mesh system
I have a router that works fine, but bought a mesh system on sale. Can i continue to use the router as is, and set up the mesh devices to connect to it?

- Regular Nighthawk routers are not Mesh capable.
Yes and no.
If you don't set it up properly you'll be in a double nat plus have issues with interference.
You could go
Primary router (router mode)---->mesh router (access point mode)---->satellites
Just make sure to put the routers on different channels and ssid's (names) to prevent interference.
