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 experiencing disconnect issues and/or slow speeds. Please feel free to chime in on this thread with any additional feedback regarding the firmware version. https://kb.netgear.com/000062202/MR60-MS60-Firmware-Version-1-0-6-102 Respectfully, Christian

Has anyone had issues with ethernet connectivity with the new firmware update? My new setup was working fine for several days, Nighthawk Mesh MR60 with 2 satelites. Router connected to a Netgear switch, which in turn has two other switches downstream. Combination of wireless and wired devices. All of sudden in the middle of the day all the ethernet devices stopped working, the computers can't get an IP address. Rebooted everything a million times, swapped cables etc no luck.

Day 4 – 30/08/20201) No problemDay 5 – 31/08/20201) AM: Woke to find everything disconnected including smoke detectors, red lights on all nighthawk units.2) Rebooted MR & Satellites, had to switch off/on most devices before they would reconnect.3) After reboot guest network was disabled.4) For safety regarding my smoke detectors I have gone back to Firmware Version 1.0.4.98 as I get at least 12 days plus, before a MR reboot. christian, again here is my feedback, If I can help pin this down please feel free to raise to the techs Kev

Hello Everyone, Thanks for the feedback. I have forwarded it to our product teams for further review. Regards, Christian

im experiencing the same issues as Kev has anyone else had issues trying to login to the routers web interface? Sometimes it will work then other times it will tell me my password is incorrect several times and when i reset it i will try to ligin again for it to tell me it is still incorrect. :\

I bought this as it was the most expensive in the store and I wanted the best possible wifi experience at home (which I also work from)Sadly after trying everything from community, other online forums, youtube, and of course updating to 1.0.6.102, I am still finding my phone + smart TVs dropping out the consistent "cannot find IP address" issue that I am starting to lose confidence owning another Netgear device. Sadly I wanted to love this device but the idea that I have to reset the router every single day numerous times a day or every time I turn on my television is just something I don't think justifies the high price tag for this product.

Why isn't the MR60 in the recommended model list?

Anyway I am still experience many disconnects on multiple PC's (3) wherein it will switch to 2.4Ghz from 5Ghz frequently and then eventually completely disconnect on the 2.4Ghz. These PC's are less than 20 feet from the router. And I have just downgraded to 1.0.4.98.... hopefully this fixes it.... but 1.0.6.102 does not! And when this came on... was the cause of the disconnects but i didn't figure it out until now.

  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.

I had a blackout and when power came back on my router prompted this update. My two satellites failed to sinc the update and now they are no longer showing in my network so I can't even manually update them as one community member tried to show me how to do. I called Tech support, but since I bought it in July, 6 months ago, they tell me they can helf fix the problem they caused with this faulty update for an extortion fee of $90. Horrible customer service.
