MK83 Backwards compatibility
I have the MK63 system and would like to switch to the MK83 system and use the two MS60 satellites from the MK63 system in my new configuration MK83. My question is if they are compatible with the MK...
Hello djpaoli,
We have an article for more info regarding this. I've linked it below.

- Thanks for reply.
I bought the MK83 system and configured the two MS60 satellites from my previous system to work with the new one but they are disconnected from and connected all the time, not getting a stable connection.
All devices are updated with firmware V1.1.4.6.
I'm about to give up and switch to another system.Do the stock satellites that came with the system work fine?
How far from the router are the MS60 satellites?
What materials is the home made from?
- Thanks for reply.
The satellites (MS80) that came with the system do not disconnect as often but they also lose connection from time to time. They are installed in exactly the same position as the previous system (MR60 + 2x MS60).
The maximum distance between them is 60 feet and the house is made of masonry (brick and concrete).
I've tried resetting all to factory mode and making a new configuration but the problem persists.
What I also notice is that devices in a room with a satellite end up being connected to satellites in other rooms and not the room you are in.
