Night Hawk MR60 Slow WiFi
Very frustrated with this system. I have browsed through the forums and nothing seems to help. Firmware is V1.1.7.132_2.0.64. I have a Arris SB6190 cable modem through Xfinity. Wired from the MR6...
Yes the address is correct. I'm being prompted for the login credentials when I click on the address from the upgrade page. I have set a static reservation for each of the devices. I have tried using the following URLs all with the same 404. I have even tried plug in my ethernet cable directly into the back of one of the MS units.

.1 is the MR60
.2 is one MS
.3 another MS
Okay, I got it working to where I can update. I forced a password change on the main unit and now I am able to log in. Weird.
I will update the firmware on all three units and post my findings. I think it's important to keep these threads updated in case someone else runs into the same problems.
Be sure to update the MS first the MR lastly. Try a full power OFF of the MR and MS for 1 minute then back ON afterwards.
Got the MS both done, and the Router (MR) started the update on its own once they rebooted.
All devices have been powered down and brought back up. I have opened the Nighthawk app to assure my PC is connected to the MR60. Running a speed test on the MR60 directly connected to the modem exceeds the speed I am paying for. I am getting 868.69 down and 23.8 up. From the PC to the MR60 my FIRST test hit 655 down. However, every test after than at least 10 other tests are barely getting over 100mbps. After looking into it, my PC had switched its connection to the furthest MS in the house. I don't think it's possible to force the connection to stay to the closest device. I've changed the Roaming aggressiveness settings on the Wireless adapter to the lowest. We'll see if that helps.
