New Features and Enhancements: 11/11/2021
Supports Smart Parental Controls (SPC)
Fixed AirPlay issue while iPhone/iPad and Apple TV are connected to the same node, either MR60 or MS60.
Fixed...
Ran into numerous connectivity problems after installing the 1.1.6.122 update on my MR60/MS60. Tried a factory reset and a new setup but the connectivity issues persisted. Luckily I was able to roll back to the previous 116 version and now everything is working fine.
This new firmware is buggy and needs to be pulled. Do not install it or you will regret it.
What kind of connectivity problems were you seeing?
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 RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What devices do you have all connected?
Need more information and details before claiming FW is bad and needs to be pulled.

My network consists of a NG CM1000 plugged directly into a MR60 router with a unmanaged switch connected via the Ethernet port. There is a MS60 satellite connected wirelessly to the router. I have about 31 devices that connect to wirelessly and there is a Ring alarm base and two computers that connect via the switch.
This is not a range problem. This is not an issue with the distance between router and satellite. The issue is that many of my wireless devices and wired devices were not able to obtain an IP address from the router after installing the latest 122 firmware update. I have had no issues before but, after this latest update, devices were unable to obtain a IP address. The router would not see the satellite and my phone would not connect via my wi-fi network. The app is not much good when that happens. I did multiple re-boots. I did a hard reset and setup from scratch. As soon as I was able to roll back that firmware to the 116 version, everything started connecting with no issues.
Let see what happens when more people install this update and post their experience.
So did you reset and setup from scratch after v122 was loaded and still saw the problem?
- That is correct. Several times actually.
