Hi All,
Just wanted to put my two cents in here as i was having the same issues as everyone else and it's actually how i stumbled on to this thread. so i was having the same issues as the OP, my wifi connection constantly disconnecting from the internet source but the wifi network says active. A little bit about my set up so for those who have the same issue and setup can try this fix. I have verizon fios with an old G1100 router that i put in bridge mode and oviously i have the mr60 with 2 sats. the bridged mode verizon router to the wan port of my nighthawk didnt work ( Kept losing intenet access ) so i plugging the internet source directly to the nighthawk but, it gave the same issue until i changed a setting in the nighthawk router. under internet settings in the advanced menu of the nighthawk router, scroll to the bottom where is says router mac address. change it to use this mac address. after that change ive had a stable internet connection with no drops. as to why this worked i dont know maybe a network guru can explain but, it works. hope this little bit of info helps someone, it is a good mesh system for the money and its a shame we are having so may problems with it. good luck everyone.
