Can I use my old Netgear R6220 as access point for my new Nighthawk MK63 wifi6 mesh router?

I recently bought a Nighthawk MK63 wifi mesh routers.  I want to keep my old Netgear R6220 and use it as a range extender to connect to PC.  Can the old R6220 work as an extender for the new mesh routers?

Hi ytran, 

 

For the MK63 to be compatible with the R6220, you will need to use the R6220 as the router and set the MK63 into access point mode.
