MR60
I have purchased a MK6W system with one MR60 and two MS60 satellites in June 2022 and set up in a large, 3 level, vacation home. Purchased a second system December 2022 and connected the two addition...
I would move the farther MS closer. 60' could be a bit too far if the MS are dropping off here and there. Need to stabilize them.
Try using channels 1 and 40 or 11 and 48.
How many MS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between MR and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
The approximate size of the house is 5,00 sq. ft. Three levels, built on hillside. Neighbors are not close (> 100 yards) and weak WiFi signals at best if I recall. Satellites, 4 in total, are placed farther than 30 feet apart and none are in line of sight of each other nor in same room(s). The channel is probably auto if that’s the default during set-up. Using a TP-Link DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, TC-7610-E, with a Xfinity as the internet provider.
