HomePod Mini Not working on MR60 Mesh WHEN Satellites are NOT Plugged in
After working with Apple support on this we came to the conclusion that the homepod mini can airplay fine (my Apple TV too) ONLY when none of the satilites are powered on. Works for all the AirPlay f...
Hello jamz69,
We recently re-published firmware v1.0.6.110. May you reinstall the firmware version linked below.

After suffering imense frustration for a month with this mesh wifi system, (which made my Sonos system and my Homepod stop airplaying and lose handoff, and crapped out my Apple TV close to the satellite, among other annoyances), I finally gave up and clicked return on my Amazon account. Just my luck, because it so happened that today was the last day to return it. However, I decided to dig deeper and found this forum. I started scrolling through the messages, at first with zero hope of a solution and then slowly gaining more and more hope. Netgear has a solution, and it seems to be working.
Unfortunately, the firmware upgrade solution posted by Christian DID NOT solve my issue. I still cannot airplay to my HomePod Mini, my Apple iphone remote won't work with one of my Apple TVs (the one next to the satellite), and my Apple Watch doesn't connect to that same Apple TV either now. Goodbye Apple Fitness...
It is a shame that Netgear royally messed this up. I will be going forward with my return, because after a month of incredible frustration, I'm done with this company. And I'm sorry, but I will spend the time adding yet another bad review on Amazon about this mesh system, with screenshots from my iPhone showing the errors it created.
I'm sorry for those who are stuck with this device and are unable to return it. I hope Netgear comes through for you.
P.S. - This is my second Netgear router and the previous one R7000 was disconnecting multiple times a day.
joselior Sorry to hear all your frustrations- I was having them too but unfortunately I was pass my return date and Netgear said too bad, but luckily it seemed they had a fix but never incremented the minor version which is odd?????
I only have one homePod Mini but plan to get another in a few months so I may find out more later taht this is not fixed as in what. you are seeing. But if you are still ithin your retrun date Netgear should still be in support then for a phone call and help. I was passed mine so Netgear jusr said go to a fotum (which is very un perfesional why a customer (and many more at this point) have the SAME issue yet nothing gts moed and finally a fix they say but yet the same firmware version numbers?
I wish I Had the extra cash ort could still retrun my Netgear MR60 Mesh systems (3 piece) and get the one that Apple HomeKit is embeded in now and a new version of the hrdware came out; 'Erro', That would be my next move once I get money but that wont be for another 6 months as I am in online bootcamp and not working...
Also, Netgear Upper leadership probably does not even know of this and how LONG it has been going on or eben the firmware that never even changed its minor version for a patch for a bug, hmmmm..... Leadership?
