Nighthawk router work with nighthawk mesh system

So i have a NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream AX5400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router (RAX50-100CNS) and its just not providing ideal internet in every room in my home. (3 story plus basement). Trying to find an ideal solution for this. I saw the NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual Band AX1800 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (MK63) - 3 Pack and was curious if i did end up getting this if they would all work together natively without much fidgeting as if that were the case just place one on each floor on opposite corners of the home.

    No. They wouldn't integrate.

    You could use them together but not using the same ssid/roaming setup. 

     

    I do something similar with a flagship router as my primary and my mesh system running in access point mode. (with the mesh on a seperate ssid)  It lets me put the stationary devices (that are close) and my devices needing maximum speed on the flagship router and the devices that roam or that are futher away on my mesh system. Provides good coverage and peak performance.
