Nighthawk mesh Wifi 6 MR 60 and satellite
Hello, So I bought the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 with 1 satellite about 1.5 years ago and I'll be honest it has given me troubles since day 1. The connection is strong and stable for periods of up t...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Basements are not recommended placement locations for main wifi routers. Concrete and steel will cause problems with wifi singal coverage. This could be one root cause.
Hello,
I appreciate the help. Here's my answers to your questions:
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
MR60 Firmware Version: V1.0.6.116
Satellite Firmware Version: V1.0.6.116
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Modem is a Nighthawk CM1200. Everything was installed together 1.5 years ago brand new.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Roughly 2000 Sq Ft. Include a main floor, 2nd floor and basement.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.The modem and router are on the 2nd floor and the satellite is on the main floor in the livingroom at about 30ft from what I just measured right now.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?I'm not sure what channels I'm on. My guess is its on auto because I didn't change any settings from the inital setup. There are only 1 other wifi that pops up when I search for my router so not really much traffic in the area. Also I usually run about 14 devices across 2.4 and 5Ghz. 10 on 5Ghz and 4 on 2.4Ghz.

Modem and router on the the 2nd floor and I only have 1 device that jumps on the internet once in a while in the basement.
I would say the items that have the most problems from my devices is usally my garage door opener and Xbox Series X. The crazy thing is I can get 200Mbps on my iphone at times and then go over to my Xbox and its only showing 10Mbps and I'm standing right next to the Xbox with my iphone. Its unfortunately really doesnt like my Xbox for some reason. I literally couldn't even stream netflix on the xbox because it wouldn't go higher than 10Mbps download but then I try to fire it up on my iphone and it works. So there's definetly something going on. Also should say that I just installed the Xbox Series X which replaced my xbox one.
Appreciate the help,
