Cannot connect to additional MS60 satellite
Hello everyone, I have a NIGHTHAWK MESH SYSTEM MR60 WITH TWO MS60 SATELLITES. The problem is that I have only used one satellite and the other remains in the package. Now after more than 2 years i...
Have you tried hardwiring it into the router for a period?
Its probably behind on firmware and needs to get updated to sync.
Hello Sir,
Can you please explain what do you mean by hardwiring to the router? Do you mean that i connect with cable from router directly to the satellite with Ethernet cable?
If the answer is yes,please explain next steps and how can i find this satellite and update firmware?

yes. Temporarily move the satellite by the router and connect it with an ethernet wire. And walk away for around 20 minutes.
Then log into the router via the browser (not the app) and check the sync status and firmware pages. A lot of the time, it'll handle it on its own but sometimes you have to manually update/sync it.
- Great. I will do it right now appreciate your support. If it doesn't help how do i update this satellite manually? I already downloaded the latest firmware to my computer but i don't know how do i manually sync it..🥲
- It doesn't seem to work. What should i do next? 🙏
try hardwiring a pc/laptop into the satellite (shut off the wifi on the pc/laptop). Give it 10 minutes.
Then try connecting to 192.168.100.250 or 192.168.1.250
Should let you log into the satellite.
You could manually update the firmware from there. (download it before you connect the sat to the laptop)
