    Anything 8000 (R8000?) doesn't do Mesh.

     

    Mesh is a wifi technology that requires the various wifi sources on a network to work together. Think Orbi and some wifi extenders and newer Nighthawk routers.

     

    So it is hard to know what you are doing. You can use like a WN604, an ancient (2010) access point, as an access point.  

     

    If you mean "synched", as in got them to to talk to each other by wifi, then you may have created what may be a wireless distribution system (WDS) with wifi repeaters. Not all devices can play games like that.
