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...

According to their support the fix should come in next firmware, in between you can try this.

Hi,
A correction has been developped the 3rd of March 2021 and it works:
MR60-V1.0.6.103_21.03.03_homepod.chk
MS60-V1.0.6.103_21.03.03_homepod.chk
but it is still not impemented in the current release MR60-V1.0.6.116_2.0.54.chk.
One workaround is to wire (when possible) the satellite MS60 with the MR60.

Hi Arkhyle,
Is there somewhere we can download this firmware?
Thanks
- DariosaurusRexNov 04, 2021GuideSo the software is not released yet? Also I thought the Ethernet port was to connect a peripheral device. Didn’t think I could connect the satellite with the router. Wouldn’t defeat the purpose of being wireless

Though ethernet connected MS offer ethernet connected support in cases where wireless may not be good. Wire has better operation and performances over wireless.
Possible not having MS not connected via ethernet is revealing a problem with HomePod devices.

As stated, wiring the satellite defeats the purpose of a mesh system. The benefit of having a mesh system is that it is a simple plug and play solution to extend the range of a wifi network. If I wanted to wire, I could have gotten a router and switch.
