Hi,Thanks for the swift reply. I already bought the MR60 and MS60, but I cannot get it properly configured as two satellites. What are the proper steps? Or is it noy possible at all?`
yes you can wire the EX7700 into the xr with the ex7700 in access point modem. Problem will be that it won't function as mesh/onessid. That function only runs when its used as an extender.
Photos have to be approved by a moderator so can take several days.
You can click on "choose file" and attach it.
If you're only needing 1 extender, you could use a triband extender. They do work well.
Or you could use the MK system. It just wouldn't integrate with the XR700's wifi. You could either disable the wifi on the XR or you could use it as backup.
Its not uncommon. but you're caught in a catch22. You have a great router.
but its not a mesh router.
And mesh extenders don't function as mesh when ran in app mode.
and running 2 extenders in mesh mode can start (not always) to cause instabilities in the network.
So you're you're caught.
1.Try using extenders and see if it works.
2.Buy a MK 62 system and hope it covers and use 2 ssids (one for xr700, 1 for mk62)
3. Buy a MK63 system and have a router/satellite on each floor (in AP mode) with the Xr700 running in router mode. Get the benefits of its lower latencies and still have the options of using its wifi or disabling it.
4. Scrap the xr700, sell it to recoup money and just go with a full mesh system.
You're caught because you want 1 ssid. That limits you to using extenders with the xr700. But hardwired in they don't function as mesh. So you'd need to use them in extender mode. which can have stability/speed slow downs. But not always.
so do you gamble and try it?
Up to you to choose which route to go.
If you live near a store with a generous return policy, you could always try the extenders and see how they work in your home.
