R8000 Nighthawk Router
Will the Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh Add-on Satellite work with my R8000 router?

The router is the Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WiFi router.

Not router. What satellite/extender are you trying to add?

I'd like to add a mesh device to our current router. I have an extender, but it's a pain to work with,

You can't just use an orbi or MK nighthawk satellite to a standard router.
They need the base orbi or MK router to work with.
There are mesh extenders if thats what you're asking about.
Or you can just buy the orbi or MK nighthawk system and connect it with the R8000
