I am in the same scenario, I have an MR60/MS60system and Costco has the MR70/MS70 system for 200 bucks.  I called Netgear support and they assured me they are compatible.  I'm in for a try.

    First MR60/MS60 is also wifi 6.
    Second “Will the MS60 satellite work with the MR70 router?” Short answer NO!
    Long answer “Our engineers are working on a fix which should be ready in the beginning of 2023”.
    Hope that helps someone else not spend too many hours squeezing that info from tech support!

        I would avoid mixing MS60 with the MR70 system, at least until NG makes it work, if that's there intent.
