Nighthawk M60 Mesh system died(?) Foolishly got a new one. Solid Red Light.
I have had the Nighthawk AX1800 MK62 WiFi Mesh system with 2 satellites for a year or two (who remembers). I've had endless problems with them due to the dual bands, and the need for 2.4 for many hou...
doubtful they burned out.
There's been some issues with firmware between units and not syncing.
What firmware is on the satellites?
What version is on your current router?
Have you tried hardwiring the satellites into the router and then going through the sync/firmware update process?
(you might even be able to recover the old router if you give us details on what happened with it)
I do have a question: how on earth would I know what firmware is on the satellites? I ask bemusedly, because they are presently nonfunctional. And this process we're doing right now? Is part of the reason I'm so unhappy with this product. Nobody should have to know all of this stuff for it to work. And I've been a "pc guru" to my friends and family since the Windows 3.0! 🙂
If you factory reset the satellites, their default ip address should be 192.168.1.250. You can hardwire a pc/laptop into them and check their firmware and upgrade it that router as well
