so i didnt know mesh from the EAX80 cant be used hardwired to connect to my xr1000 router, if i put the EAX80 in AP mode, can i use the same SSID as my xr1000 and turn on smart connect on both routers? or?

Re: xr100 and eax80 use same ssid as wired?
As far as I've been aware, the netgear line of mesh extenders don't function as a mesh system if running in AP mode. ( @Christian_R @DarrenM unless somethings changed in firmware. Is this still correct?)
You can set them with the same ssid but they tend to be sticky and not roam like a mesh system does.
