MK62 as Just 2 Satellites or Wireless Access Points
I recently purchased the MK62 system so that I could use it with my C7000 Nighthawk Router/Modem. The whole goal was to strengthen my WiFi reach with a family of 5 doing online learning due to COVID pandemic. The instructions are awful when it comes to the general question of how do you set up the MR60 & MS60 as just satellites that just serve to boost the current WiFi from the C7000 modem I currently have?

You've got 2 (easiest) options.
1. Setup the C7000 in modem only mode. this disables it routing functions and leaves the MK62 system controlling all routing.
2. Leave the C7000 in router mode but put the MK62 system in Access point mode. this leaves the C7000 controlling all router functions.
In this mode, you'd want the c7000 using a different ssid sinces its not a mesh device and have its wireless either on a different wireless channel or the wireless disabled so it doesn't cause interference with the mesh system.
