Netgear mr60 mesh - Amazon echo issues
I’m having problems with my mesh WiFi and Amazon echo devices and wondering if anyone can help please. I’ve always had issues with multi speaker groups on Alexa with them intermittently not working...
You can try using QoS and see if it works for you or not. Usually slower or moderate speeds QoS maybe handy. QoS is best for uplink speeds that are low. Whats your uplink speed?
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I have moved my satellite further away but before doing that I noticed in the app that one of the satellites appeared to be connected to the other satellite instead of the main router. At least that’s how it looked in the network diagram.
After rebooting the satellites my Alexa devices have been ok so far. Multi room groups work fine. Even after moving the satellite away all has been fine.
Thanks for the help. Just a couple of other quick questions please.
Can I see anywhere in the app or router page how long the connection to the internet has been active for or when it last dropped? Appreciate this shouldn’t happen on fttp connections but we had issues in the past on fttc so I’d like to be able to see this.
Also I’ve seen the option for QOS but it seems to only recommend this for extremely fast connections, is QOS worth enabling on a 150mb connection?
Thanks
