Nighthawk Mesh 6 wifi dropping macbooks only, can't reconnect - windows not a problem
Hi just got the nighthawk mr60 wifi mesh with a router and two satellites. My windows machine never has a problem. My 2 mac laptops are often dropped, then when I do reconnect to the modem, it says...
I have the same problem with my 2018 MacBook Pro and the Orbis. Not the same as the same product as the Nighthawk, I know, but this has been awful for a month or more.
It’s reached the point where I have done totally fresh installs/factory resets on everything.
No improvement.

I have the same exact issue. I can't believe this.
I've been countless hours on hold and talking to tech support multiple times.
They've tried everything: changing wireless channels, updating firmware, disabling wifi 6 (ax), nothing has worked.
This happens on my macbook, iphone, ipad. All these devices work just fine with all the other hundreds of wifi connections I've used.
- So this sort of issue seems to exist across all netgear models, and it seems to be something that happens in combination with the way netgear products interact with the Mac OS and iOS, and what gets stored in PRAM and NVRAM.
Resetting both these in my devices helped/solved the issue and significantly improved network performance.
Discussions with Apple about what might be going on were responsive.
