    I just noticed I have accidentally bought two new MS70 Satellites and cant connect them with my MR60 as well.

     

    Any extra help on this would be great, have spent hours trying to find out why this wasnt working!

    Hi, thanks for the link to discussion, but it doesn’t answer the simple question. If you have purchased the MS70 and have a MR60 how on earth do you get it to work? The whole thing is making me crazy with anger that I purchased off NETGEAR specifically chasing a MS60 but got the “better one” that won’t connect 🥺

      From what I read in those links, you can't get it to work.

      https://kb.netgear.com/000063029/Which-Nighthawk-Mesh-products-are-compatible-with-the-Nighthawk-Tri-band-Mesh-WiFi-6-products?article=000063029

      Different technologies.

       

      specifically chasing a MS60 but got the “better one” that won’t connect 🥺

      Methinks that was the first mistake. Going from 60 to 70 does not make the satellite "better".

       

      Have you tried "Ethernet backhaul" with the MS70?

       

      It really is poor of Netgear not to provide the sort of compatibility grid that it has for Orbi devices. If it it exists, I can't find it.

        Thanks.

        I've tried everything.

        Will try backhaul.

        Otherwise I'll try and sell my MS70 satellite.
