Co-existence of RBR50 with RBK752

Thinking of upgrading my RBR50 with 2 satellites to an RBK752 wifi6 system. Can the RBR50 work in the same mesh network as the RBK752 to improve coverage through my thick concrete walls, and any reasons why this wouldn't be a good idea? Thanks, such a newbie at this.

No, they are not compatible.

If you have a chance to hardwire it in (the rbr50), you could use the 50 series in access point mode. That'd let you use it in conjunction with the newer system but it wouldn't integrate with it. 

I'd set it with a separate ssid so its not creating interference with the AX system. 

Maybe have one system cover one side of the home that uses more bandwidth and the older system the other side.
