can I add extra AX1800 Satellite to my mesh network as needed and can I use the captive portal

I am looking at getting the Nighthawk 3-Pack AX1800 I need to be able to add extra Satellite as needed as well as convert it to a captive portal. Is this the best product for me?

Add-on satellites (MS60) are available in the market.

To my knowledge there is no captive portal feature on the Nighthawk Mesh system.

Leaving the lack of a captive portal feature alone, this depends on your other requirements.Why mesh over wired network? Bandwidth expectations? Number of clients? Concurrent business/private use with multiple SSIDs?
