You can put the MK62/63 sytstem in access point mode. That'd let the XR1000 manage all the routing with the MK63 system handling the wireless. The XR1000 won't work as part of the wireless mesh though. Just something to keep in mind.
and if you hardwire in the MK62 system, it'll function quite well. I wouldn't go with the mk62 if you plan on using its wireless backhaul. Being dual band leaves much to be desired in terms of performance.

If you mean via a WiFi setup extension I would think no but as an Access point yes.
Duma does not work well with devices behind an extender unless it's running as an access point which will show all connections as wired on the Duma dash.

Duma was designed to control devices connected directly to the router, it does work with Access Point but sometimes it's not great ie a tad buggy but in wireless you have the wireless devices as well and it just gets messy.

I’m thinking about buying a XR1000 router for gaming, but I don’t need the EAX80’s for the rest of my house. Is it possible to use the AX1800 system as the satellites for the MESH-6?
Not to barge in on this but you put you have the EAX80's but are asking if its possible to use the AX1800 as satellites for mesh-6.
1. AX1800 is a speed, not a model.
2. the EAX80 is a AX6000 device so you must not be referring to that.
3. Mesh-6 doesn't refer to any of netgears models. Maybe its your ssid?
So what actual model numbers and setups are you referring to here?
Just wanting a little clarity in what devices you have and what you're plans are
