Nighthawk AX1800 MK63 trying to connect two mesh systems purchased separately at costco

Hi,

 

I purchased 2 - Mesh Wifi 6 systems from Costco (big box store). The package came each with 1 router and two satellites. I want to take the second package and turn all three units into satellites including the router to place around my house. Each system has their own unique network code. The first package is working, but how do I change the network code for the 2nd router to be the same as the first router and same with the second set of satellite units. Anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you!

    Alas, this Orbi forum is for the original WiFi5 Orbi system, not Nighthawk WiFi6.  None of us have the devices you want advice about.

    Probably somebody who participates in the Nighthawk forum can offer suggestions:

  • Hi lolier, I have the same problem. I bought two kits MK63. I set up, my first router connected with my modem (ISP), and configurated 4 satellites in the same SSID. But, my problem is with the second MR60 (second router). Can you said me, if you can resolve your problem?

    Thanx!
