New - MK6x series: MR60 / MS60 FW v1.1.6.122 Released
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...
I just wanted to add that im also having the same problems right after the update to FW 1.1.6.122. I will list the issues just to see if anyone else is experiencing the exact and/or similar issues:
- Unstable connection with a drastic speed drop
- MR60 Router does not see (will not sync) with the satellite
- Any type of speedtest fails
- Something ive noticed and not sure if it would be an issue with anything is that ive noticed that the router has always had issues with connecting to the NTP server. Please let me know if this would be an issue.
Issues within the APP:
- App shows that the satellite is connected but satellite (MS60) LED is amber
- App shows all devices connected to router is a wired conection when there is no wired devices connected
- App shows a picture of a completely different device in the network map. (It actually shows me a picture of the R7500 and not the MS60)
There are other issues that are happening but these are the big problems ive discovered. If anyone has anymore issues other than what i listed please feel free to let me know so i can check my system. Ive started a ticket with netgear but it seems like all thats happening is a lot of questions and waiting for responses which is not helping.

What NTP server are you trying to connect to?
I'm currently using my ISPs and it's been able to authenticate and connect to it no issues.
Ensure you are entering the NTP Server address correctly.
Are you able to ping it at all?
Im just using the default setting which i believe tries to connect to the Netgear NTP server. And if i can remember correctly other than the initial first setup (which i never had problems with) my router has always said that it could not connect to the NTP server no matter how many factory resets ive tried including 30-30-30 factory resets. Hell, ive tried 1week-1week-1week power restarts/resets.
i actually havent tried to ping it for the simple fact that i never noticed any connection issues or speed issues. From that i really never had a reason to try and ping. I just thought i would add that bit of information since i noticed it and it might help others as well.

OK. At the very least have you tried using an alternative NTP Server Address?
ie Google or Cloudflare? or your ISPs NTP Server (if they have one).
The reason I asked if you can ping it, is to see if its reachable from your Network.
If it's not reachable from your Network, it's not going to be able to establish a connection with the NTP Server.
OR if the NTP Server Netgear uses is down, then it wont be able to establish a connection.
Try reverting back to v116?

Well, I am not very smart. I left auto-update on and it installed the latest malfunctioning 1.1.6.122 last night. Same problems: sattelites missing, new IP addresses becasue they had diferent MAC adressses again (6th octet), etc.. Fortunately, I know how to go back now and have turned off auto-update.
- I’m generally curious if anyone has a response from Netgear? Or if there is anyone “official” from Netgear on these forums.
They closed my case saying “Firmware is operating within specification” how the f*** can all these bugs people are reporting and multiple people having the same issue “Within Spec”.
Netgear is a f***ing joke!
