Link Asus RP-AC1900 Network to Nighthawk C7000 AC1900
I have a Nighthawk AC1900 router/modem and am using an ASUS RP-AC1900 repeater. Am I able to have the ASUS repeater on the same network as the Nighthawk? ASUS support told me to contact Netgear....

Ah. It is a Mesh device. That wasn't clear. The first message just said "extender".
It is strange that Asus didn't say that when first asked.

Looks like we have found another company with a less than helpful support service.

I don't have one so I can't attest to how it works/functions, but AiMesh is Asus's own mesh solution.
You're not using it with a AiMesh compatible router, you're using it with a Netgear C7000.
So it might function in extender mode fine but not as a mesh device.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. Might just have to live with 2 separate networks for now.
