Nighthawk Mesh blocking device IPs?
I have a setup that looks like this: T-Mobile -->Firewalla firewall --> Nighthawk Mesh -->IoT, ipad, phone, etc. I used to be able to get a notification on my firewall when someone was gaming...
Try the MR router in AP mode?

On the bottom of the router it says it's a Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 Router MR60. Didn't have time to troubleshoot last night, but looks like I'm going to need to factory reset again. I couldn't logon to the router or the mesh system, even though I had all blue lights on the router and satellite. đ
The reason I had trouble finding the AP switch is because it was really dim and grayed out. But I found it and now all is mostly fine. Thank you.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Looks like you have got an Internet connection on the RM60, but something between it the Internet that is getting in the way of the login and intercepting the default 192.168.1.1 address.
That could be the T-mobile Gateway.
Then there is Firewalla firewall. What is it doing there? Looks like trouble waiting to happen.
Most network protection comes after the Internet has reached the router, which has its own firewall.
If you want to access the GUI of the MR60 and MS60 you need to track down the IP addresses that they have been assigned by the bits between it and the Internet. There are various ways of doing that. The first is to look at the list of "connected devices" in the T-Mobile -->Firewalla firewall bit.
If you can see the wifi from the MR60, that will also reveal its IP address.
With that, you should be able to access the MR60 using a web browser. Then mooch around to find the settings for AP mode.
