Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
I have a Nighthawk Mesh MR60 with the Satelite. About once a day, it loses connection to all the 2.4 devices on my network. It remains connected to the 5.0 devices. I have to reboot the router and...
Dropping clients throughout the day. Mostly 2.4 but also some 5GHz.
Most will reconnect automatically.
Please fix this or I will have to return product and try another.
Same with the latest Firmware
Opened a ticket.
I’m in the same boat. I’m ready to return it all to Costco this weekend. The satellites don’t stay up for very long, though the router always seems to stay online. After I reboot the router, the satellites will go blue for a short time before going amber. And, no, they’re not too far away. Both units are on the same floor in adjacent rooms. I did have them on different floors, but moved them because I thought there might be a connection issue due to distance. I don’t think there’s a hardware issue based on all the comments, so I’m not going to exchange them. I’ll just return them outright. I bought these because my AX8 died a couple weeks ago. It probably still has a warranty on it, but I wasn’t thrilled with the reliability of that either. I picked these up on a whim because I thought a mesh network would be the way to go, but maybe this product isn’t fully baked yet. If anyone know what I can do, please let me know.
- Well, that's depressing. I seldom buy tech without research, but Costco got me with this three pack. I don't seem to be dropping devices at the moment, but link rate is abysmal and buffing all the time in fire TV. Doesn't seem the mesh system does a very good job of finding optimal freq and satellite.
- I’ll admit, I didn’t do my research either. I went to Costco to buy paper towels (they were all out) and saw the display. Again, it was a total impulse buy. I thought to myself, “A three unit WiFi 6 mesh system for $249? Shouldn’t that be hundreds more? Sold!” Now I’m like, “It’s why you always have to do the research, dummy.” At least Costco has a phenomenal return policy.
I've been using this product for months and it's gotten a lot better. That being said, it's still bad. My satellite accepts connections sometimes but doesn't seem to send the traffic anywhere. Also, I have a windows laptop that once it goes to sleep, I can't get it to reconnect after sleep until I reboot the router. I've seen this on a mac laptop in the house too.
This product definitely is subpar and should be avoided.
