Currently have AX8 AX5700; thinking of adding AX1800, 1 router and 2 satellites

The actual model number of my router is RAX75 or AX8 AX5700, couldn't find it in the provided list. Let me start by saying I am not real savy when it comes to computers/roouters. I currently have my RAX75 tethered with to my ATT Uverse router/gateway, don't remember if it is cat5 or 6. Netgear support helped me setup the RAX75 as an AP. What I want to know, before I purchase them, is can I connect the Nighthawk MK3 wifi6 mesh to the RAX75 to extend its wifi? Will it work as a true mesh on the RAX75 wifi? Would it be better to ewturn the RAX75 and purchase the EAX80 wifi extender? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. regards, Ed
