Can't connect to mr60 to firmware update
MR60 NIGHTHAWK. HAVE THE FIRMWARE dated 12.9,21 but from the app and from the weblink i don't see the link to "ADVANCED' to update firmware, on the ios app it continues to say it can't connect. ...

AH, ya that would be a problem.
The mobile app has caused problems before so I recommend using the MR and MS web pages to update FW. Once the FW is updated and things are back online, then use the mobile app.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

duh my fault.
connected to a different wifi. once done i had to manually update the main and then the 2 sat's but now finally up to the right firmware way in advance of what i did over the summer, why can't they fix the app to work right?
no wonder they only offer 90 days of free support. they do work well and were cost effective from costco but jeeze can you make it easier to do
