Purchase MR80 only?

I have purchased a MK63 with 2 additional satellites (MS60), a year+ ago.  I am unhappy with the inability to either choose a band (2.4 vs 5GHz) or create a separate 2.4 GHz only network.  This is a requirement for nearly all "smart" wifi devices, including the ones I own...

 

I see the MK/MS/MR 80 series is out and gives you the option to set up a separate 2.4GHz network (see attached file).  I also see that the MS60 satellites are compatible with the MR80 Router.

 

I wish to purchase ONLY an MR80 - I don't need any more satellites.  Is this possible?  I've searched everywhere....

 

Thank you....

    the only place I've seen just the MR80 sold by itself is on ebay or through 3rd parties. 

    Otherwise its been part of a kit.

    For your future needs, Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk MESH products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH MESH products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
