MK62 new wifi6 mesh system, can a router unit (MR60) be configured to function as satellite(MS60)
The MK62 comes with a router (MR60) and a satellite (MS60). I'd like more than one satellite. Can I buy the satellite without the router now? If not can I buy another MK62 with an extra router (MR60) and configure that device to function like a satellite (MS60)? Let me know. Thanks.

So I was just talking to customer support about this. Even though everything in their app and even on BestBuy say they support multiple satellites, they don't. They are currently "developing a firmware update that will allow the use of multiple satellites" however they don't have any kind of ETA or expected release date for this firmware.

FWIW it sounds like I was in your same position. I decided to try it with two MK62 kits. I was able to attach both MS60 satellites to the same MR60 in a single mesh. I was *not* able to setup the second MR60 to act as a 3rd satellite. I logged onto this forum hoping someone had solved that problem.
The MR60s did make an immediate firmware update to 1.0.2.76
For the time being I have the other MR60 wired into the network acting as an access point broadcasting with the same SSID and password. Not optimal but it's getting me through the week.

I recently purchased two MK62 kits after having read an answer from Christian on this forum that, indeed, the MR60 can act as a satellite. Come to find out that this is a difficult ask. When turning it into a wireless access point, my main router unit became unable to function. There are NO phone numbers through which I can speak with Netgear's customer support, though, with my newly registered unit, I am supposedly covered for 90 days. What gives Netgear?? Do I need to resell these systems and get one that functions better or are you on the case of this terrible oversight? How about a phone number so I can talk to a human?
