Is it possible to connect Netgear Mesh Satellite to AX4300

[A84Gamer]

Hey there,

I have the Netgear Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX4300 WiFi 6 Router.

Is it possible to connect a Nighthawk Mesh Satellite to it in order to extend my network in the same way a mesh network behaves?

Or is the AX4300 not designed to function as a mesh base station in the first place?  I don't want to simply use a range extender since it doesn't offer the same benefits of a mesh node.

 

Thanks!

Only works with a Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK62 or MK63) sold separately.

Ah, good catch.

Thank you.

 

FYI for anyone else that has this question. I contacted Netgear and the advisor said you can use something like this extend it as a mesh:

It's safe to assume that the router you are connecting the extender to must be Wi-Fi 6, so keep an eye out for that.

 

Thanks again.
