MR60 Mesh Wifi, Red Light
OK Folks, the Mesh WiFi 6 Router has a solid red light, but shouldn't it be green? I have wifi / internet access on the desktop so it is working.
Am I good? If not what do I do now? I unplugged it to reset, still the red light. What else can I try?

Should be BLUE for good status and connection to ISP modem.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Darn I suspected I'd be asked techy things that I can't answer ..
Firmware, how do I find the version? It's never been updated, at least not by me. How do I update this?
yes I've unplugged both the modem and the modem twice.
Log into the MRs web page with a web browser at 192.168.1.1 to see version #

Let us know FW version first before updating it.
Do you have any MS satellites deployed as well?
No progress, I'm tired trying to get this fixed, the light only goes red every week or so, so I just reset the router. Not a big deal, I appreciate everyone's effort to help me with this!
