MR 70 cutting in and out - not all devices connecting
I set up Nighthawk WiFi 6 Router #MR 70 network (the product isn't coming up in the forum) with the same name as my Router network as recommended. The Mesh router is connected via cable to my Vodafon...

Thank you, this lines up with other info I have found. I need to read a little more before I do any changes to my MESH. I think the Vodafone Router (Model NL 1902) is necessary because it "speaks" to my National Broadband Connection - not sure if my MESH will do that.So I currently have NBN device to Vodafone to Mesh.
Thanks for your advice I appreciate it

It isn't clear what that router does, but I see references to connecting to 4G. If that means it connects to a mobile network, then it is a modem router. You need that to connect to the internet.
How you sort things out is down to your choice of the options listed above.
They boil down to turning off the router bit of the Vodafone Router and using it in modem only (bridge) mode. You'll have to ask your ISP, or Google, how to go about that.
Or you can use the MR70 in AP mode.
