MR60 / MS60 - Firmware Update v1.0.6.102
Hello Nighthawk Mesh Community,
There is a new firmware available for the MR60/MS60 to help address connectivity issues. We recommend updating to firmware version 1.0.6.102 if you are experienc...
I'd like to love this router, but my home devices don't
I have the version 1.0.6.102 on MR and MSs.
The only problem I am facing, at random times the LAN trafic device to device is blocked.
Let's say my TV and my phone are both connected wirelesly on 5GHz band on MR. At times I cannot ping the TV from phone
Messages like no route to host , host down, etc.
Need to mention that during all this time, the TV and Phone works well when speaking about connection to internet.
If i move around house and my Phone gets connected to a satellite, then LAN connectivty comes back.
It feels like the default LAN route that any router shall have is going hayware. This seems completely random and I cannot pinpoint to any external factor causing it.
I even tried to assign static IPs and Static routes toward those devices, with no difference in behavior.
This is a big issue for me as I have various streaming devices (chromecasts), to which I can or cannot stream to because of this. Or I need to climb floors to make it work.
Interestingly though - the printer which is also wireless on 2.4G has not exhibited this behavior yet but it may be because I am seldom printing, comparing with music streaming.
There is a another thread on community on this exact topic, but I wanted to chime in here as well.
Christian_R in case you have a suggestion please chime in.
I'd honestly say if I cannot get this fixed, this router will go back
Hello all,
I just wanted to tell you that last firmware seems to be more stable. However im using only the router (without the satelite).
But also, i want to share my final answer before i close the support case:
Hello XXXX!
Im testing this one since saturday.
Is much more stable than before. However my computer got kicked from the network without any reason.
Although it happened once.
I have to update the satellite.
However i will not keep this device as is still not good enough...
Really a lot of missing options/configurations.
I cannot setup specific SSID for specific band, mobile devices are jumping from one band to the other...
I already went for another solution, much more flexible and stable than this one.
So, thanks for your support... this is my last repply as i will never use a netgear product again, and of course, i will never recommend it.
