Nighthawk MR60 - Not providing internet through LAN
Hello, I'm using a pair of MR60 Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 Router in my home. My main router connects to a hub and then to my PC and is wirelessly meshed with the secondary router. Intermittently my ...
Hello,
Sorry, I misspoke in my original post. The Nighthawk MR60s are setup in a mesh network with 1 acting as a router and 1 acting as an access point. I need a wired connection in multiple rooms of my home which is why I've chosen to go with the Mesh network on these devices.
My modem is an Arris TouchStone CM8200A.

That's a completely different scenario from the original message.
These satellites are connected by wifi but the wired Ethernet falls over?
If I wanted Ethernet everywhere, I would have started with a simple set of Powerline plugs. Much easier to set up and manage as long as the local mains circuit is up to it..
I'm still not clear on the layout at your end. What is this "hub"?
It all sounds a bit complicated.
My modem is an Arris TouchStone CM8200A.
Standard cable modem. No router component to get in the way.
I've tried Powerline plugs and the performance was awful at my apartment.
Setup is:
Arris TouchStone CM8200A > Nighthawk MR60 (Router) > Netgear 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch GS305v3 > PC, Work laptop, etcNighthawk MR60 (Access point) > Another switch > Internet devices.
The only thing I've had issues with using this setup is my PC coming off the main router and Switch sometime loses the ability to receive internet over ethernet as described in my original post.

Plugged into the first switch?
No MS satellites?
Your layout is not unlike mine, with the exception that here an MR90 feeds a 16-port switch that then feeds an MS90 satellite and other things, including a pile of NAS boxes, Arlo hubs and an R7800 in AP mode.
I see no local disconnects.
For once, I suggest that old die hard "check the cables". Usually just a boilerplate diversion, there are times when LAN cable really do go belly up.
Swapping cables around might be a good test.
The access point is wirelessly connected to the router using the mesh system. Not sure what you mean by "No MS satellites?".
And yes, I've tried a few different ethernet cables and confirmed the ones I'm using are working by using them to connect my PC directly to the modem and have no issues with internet access.
