MS 60s stop connecting to MR60 about the same time everyday
I just bought the Nighthawk mesh sytem MR60 and 2 MS60s 4 days ago. The two MS60s stop working about the same time every day (7pm PST), Amber lights on both Satellites. I had to sync the satellites m...
Lot of things could cause problems as I've read all related posts.
1. Netgear's poor DHCP server;
2. Interferences with closely neighbor WIFI's using the same channel;
3. Double-NATing (when using two routers connecting together).
I'll close this post as I'll figure out myself. You pay what you get!!!
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Is it only the satellites that drop or does the main router drop as well?

Modem : Netgear CM1100 ---> Netgear X6 R7900
---> Netgear AX1800 MK63 ---> MS60 Sat-1 ---> MS60 Sat-2
Only the Satellites dropped.
(I've just added the R7900 back as an extra WIFI SSID).
do you have the MK system in access point mode?

I do not set up anything special, but how do I tell? (I'll read up in the mean time). My network map shows a straight line now as I moved the boxes around.
MK60--> MS60 Sat1--> MS60 Sat-2.
My first day set-up, it was a triangle:
MK60

Sat-1 Sat-2

No, I did not enable AP Mode.
if you're going to use the R7900, try the MK system in access point mode.
