Can I use nighthawk router with nighthawk mesh system

[kailash6759]

I have a router that works fine, but bought a mesh system on sale. Can i continue to use the router as is, and set up the mesh devices to connect to it?

Regular Nighthawk routers are not Mesh capable.

Yes and no. 

If you don't set it up properly you'll be in a double nat plus have issues with interference. 

You could go 

Primary router (router mode)---->mesh router (access point mode)---->satellites

Just make sure to put the routers on different channels and ssid's (names) to prevent interference.
