R9000 and Mesh Wifi 6 system

Hello Community,     I have the Nighthawk R9000 Router and recieved the Nighthawk Mesh 6 system as a gift. Is it possible to connect the mesh system to the r9000 to create a system that covers more...

I like my R9000 Router so I might excahnge the Mesh system for a Netgear Range Extender EX7000. Just purchased a new home with a larger foot print and just trying to make sure all the rooms have coverage.

    I'd highly recommend the triband mesh extenders. They have better stability and faster speeds. 

    Another option is always the RBS40V as it has an extender mode. That way if you ever do decide to go with an orbi system, it integrates. (Plus tends to be cheaper)
