Additional router to connect to MS80 mesh system
I have a mesh system with the Nighthawk MR80 as the base router, with 2 satellites. I'm unable to beam the wifi signal to my home theater room. The wall is made of kryptonite. Best solution is for me to run ethernet cable around the house to that room and connect to a second router to run in bridge mode.
What model Nighthawk router will do this job? Looks like the MR80 doesn't come alone, but mabye with one satellite.
Is there a router that I can use?
You don't need another router.
You can simply hardwire in one of the MS80 satellites. they have an ethernet port and support wired backhaul.

Fantasic! I was thinking that Ethernet port was output only. Simple solution is the best. Thank you for your help.
Hope it works well for you!
