MR80 + 2 MS80 stopped working
After 3 months of working without a problem, MS80s will no longer sync with my MR80. The MR80 works perfectly with WAN and LAN but refuses to find the MS80s. I have tried: - Reset all 3 devices an...
Man! So complicated!
House is 3,800 sqft.
For me, the living room MS is where the PS5 is hardwired. Then when it acts up, the PS5 doesn’t automatically fail over onto the wifi; I have to manually change it.
Where the Nighthawk shines is in the quantity/quality of devices. I have 40 devices in total and quality has never been an issue. My NVR system alone has 8 hardwired cameras and 6 wifi ones. Those 6 wifi ones feed 4k footage into the NVR 24/7 and they cause no bandwidth issues for the rest of the devices. I couldn’t get that kinda quality of network from the 1st get EERO.
Fingers crossed the Nighthawk works out.

OK, so is both MS ethernet connected to the MR or mixed wired and wireless?
What Brand and model Switch do you have in between the MR and MS?
What CAT# LAN cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
- No switch
Moto 3.1 modem to MR, wireless to both MS’s.h Ok, I think I mis-read. My bad.
Lets hope things keep working out. For the size of home, maybe on the cutting edge of having too much wifi signals. I noticed even in my 5k sq ft home, the MR and 1 MS thats wired seems to be working great with out the 2nd MS. I wish there was power settings on these MESH units like Orbi has.
Keep an eye on it and let us know if something happens.
I'd make a backup configuration to file on the MR for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed. 😉
- Thanks for everything. Backup has been made.
