FURRYe38 Are you referring to the bricking or the speedtest?
- Nothing bricked for me fortunately.
- I never tested the speed when 1.1.6.122 was installed. Did a speedtest now using the nighthawk app. It worked, but this is FW 116 I'm on. NOT about to install 122 again.
Thanks for your information.
- To respond about the bricking. My router and satellite did not brick per say. After reverting back to the prior firmware, i do however notice that the satellite falls out of sync now. Connection between satellite and router isn't as good anymore. Internet speeds are inconsistent but not sure if it was due to something in the firmware.
Did you down grade both MS and MR back to v116 then factory reset and setup from scratch?

Yes i did downgrade the satellite first (MS60) then the router second (MR60). After both updated i did a 30-30-30 reset a couple times as well as a couple factory resets. After all this, i was able to connect to the internet but for some reason im still having some issues with the satellite.
When i login into my router it shows that the satellite is connected and i have blue LEDs on both devices, i thought for S**ts and giggles i would try to reconnect the satellite. As i press the sync button behind the satellite and then hit the sync on the router (physical or on the screen) 9 times out of 10 the sync will just timeout (router and satellite LEDs still show blue after timeout). I may have been lucky once or twice but even when the sync does not timeout the LED on the router is blue while the one on the satellite keeps blinking white. That happened i beleive twice only but every other time the sync just timesout.
I mentioned this as well but im not sure if all this has anything to do with my very very very unstable and inconsistant internet speeds. All i can say for this is before this whole firmware issue, ive always had very constant speeds across the board. I have not moved the location of either the satellite or router and have not messed with any of the wiring. I pay for gigabit internet service but am not achieving anything close to it either wired or wireless connected.
Ive opened a ticket with netgear in hopes i may get my warranty honored before it expires and waited 4 days for them to email me back a series of questions that i have already answered. (I just responded today with a very very disappointed response and will update people on this once i receive one)
At this point i just dont know whats going on with this unit now. Ive had an unstable connection to the internet ever since and im on my last limb with netgear at this point.
