MR60 Firmware V1.1.7.134 - Possible issues with this firmware version and DoS/Port Scan Protection
Product Affected: Netgear Nighthawk MR60 Firmware Version (Router & Satellite): V1.1.7.134 I've recently suffered two brief power outages about a week apart from each other and in both instances...
- Checking the option "Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection" resolved the issue for me, even after subsequent power outages.
I have an MR60 with four MS60 satellites set-up in a vacation house and seem to lose device connectivity over time, perhaps might be from power outages as I’m not there to verify. Has the solution that you mentioned, “checking the option "Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection" under Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup on the router's management interface”, resolved the issue after subsequent power outages? Until I visit the house next, I’m only able to access the router with Anywhere Access and reboot, which doesn’t get many if any of the devices to reconnect (the Nighthawk app will show most if not all the devices connected, but they are not working remotely, mainly Kasa cameras and switches).
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
5,000 square feet
The device connectivity and satellite connectivity after power outages seems to be an occasional problem with the MR60 MS60 set-up and I haven’t come across a solution browsing all the other instances. Unless there is one, not sure the set-up will work at a vacation home in California where there are all too frequent power outages.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between MR and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
For that size of home 4 MS maybe too much. Try working with two MS and the MR. I have a 5k sq ft home and use only two MS. 3 level home too.
Can try the suggestion mentioned as well...

The satellites are spaced greater than 30 feet apart from the router and none within line of sight of each other. I will try removing a couple of the satellites and check WiFi coverage in addition to trying the DoS/Port scan as possible solutions.
