Is MS60 WiFi 5 satellite compatiable with MR70 WiFi 6 router?
Greetings, Just replaced my MR60 w/two MS60's WiFi 5 mesh with the MR70 +2 MS70's WiFi 6. This is the MK73S "Costco special" $200 kit. Can the MS60 satellites be configured to work with the ...
Let us know how it turns out.

I am in the same scenario, I have an MR60/MS60system and Costco has the MR70/MS70 system for 200 bucks. I called Netgear support and they assured me they are compatible. I'm in for a try.
First MR60/MS60 is also wifi 6.
Second “Will the MS60 satellite work with the MR70 router?” Short answer NO!
Long answer “Our engineers are working on a fix which should be ready in the beginning of 2023”.
Hope that helps someone else not spend too many hours squeezing that info from tech support!

- My MS60 work fine with the MR70... It's now the MS70s I'm having problems with...
I would avoid mixing MS60 with the MR70 system, at least until NG makes it work, if that's there intent.
I manually updated my MR70 and MS70's to v1.0.3.32 this morning. I tried to add one of my old MS60's (v1.1.7.132) via a wired connection through a GB switch and it seems to be working. I initially tried the wireless sync, but it timed out. I plugged it in to ethernet and got the blue light and see it on the devices table.
When I was on the prior version of firmware (1.0.2.26) it wouldn't link up and the MS60 had an orange light whether wired or wireless.
I got the new version from the download center:

I also downloaded the 1.0.2.26 version files in case I need to downgrade later. So far so good. I just wish there was a good way to change the names of the devices as they all show up as "Satellite-1"
