MR80 + 2 Satellites V1.1.6.6 no devices showing on network map
Using Nighthawk App on iphone 11 iOS 14.8.1. Have 1 MR80 + 2 satellites and all devices show connected to the router and none connected to the satellites. Router is on main floor, and I have 1 sate...
All devices show when viewing in browser and when you log into each satellite it shows devices connected. Just very annoying that the Nighthawk App is promoted as the primary way to manage your mesh system but it's not reliable or accurate!
Seems like everytime they update the app, it fixes one thing and breaks a different one. A bit sad.
I dont believe this issue is "App" related. I believe this is a firmware issue of the MR80 and MS80 Satelites. If you downgrade firmware to an earlier version, such as 1.1.4.6, then the devices show properly connected to each respective router/satelite. However, Netgear does not give the ability on the routers interface to "stop auto updates", thus the MR80 will auto update the firmware to the latest version causing incorrect information to display in the app.
I saw there was a new firmware release. Not sure if they fixed yet I guess we will see.

- It did not fix it. I had hopes but it seems Netgear and iRobot are both equally crappy when it comes to their software platform and support.
