access point and roaming to maintain rax200 ssid

What access point products (or extender) that is compatible with RAX200 and will maintain RAX200 SSID for roaming.

I have a wired connection to the location for the access point or extender, but I don't have a product that is compatible with RAX200 that will maintain the single network SSID roaming.

Model: RAX200|Nighthawk Tri-band AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router

The problem with extenders that if they're hardwired in, they act as their own point and their roaming protcols are disabled. 

Fortunately, most newer devices will roam on their own protocols. 

I've used an RAX200 and a EX8000 with the ex8000 hardwired in and devices roamed fine. 

 

the only consumer devices I know that support wired backhaul with the smart roaming protocols enabled is the Orbi systems and MK nighthawk systems.
