The can work together but not with a mesh setup. Its best to seperate out the ssid's for each. If you're hardwiring them together (best option) the 2nd device will need to be in AP mode.

Re: need help.....
What AP means is access point mode. It turns off the routing function of the r6900 and lets the c6300 run as the router. This prevents double nat situations and other conflicts. Its best to have seperate names for the routers for their wireless SSID as well as try to have their wireless channels seperate to reduce interference. this is how you'd put the r6900 in ap mode.
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP
