Nighthawk mr60 mesh system not connecting to security/vice-versa
Hello, I have a lorex security system that I just installed, as well as this MR60 mesh network router and I cannot get it to connect, no matter what I have tried. I also have a nighthawk ax12 (rax120...
- Turns out that the ethernet cable that came with the MR60 router was bad right out of the box. I replaced it and now everything (including both switches and even the security system) is working.
The modem: spectrum model#ET2251
Nighthawk firmware:v1.1.7.134
Also, the security system is connected via ethernet through a passive switch

Try the device directly connected to the MR?
What is the brand and model# of this switch?
Be sure to use good quality LAN cables. CAT6 is recommended.
Swap out cabling to see if problem continues.

As for the security hooked directly to the MR60, that works. I'm afraid I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to home networking. This switch also connects to a switch in my workshop. That one is a tplink SG1005D. This also feeds a wifi blast 2AOQ6LV-WR03 so some devices can connect wirelessly (phone, Amazon echo) I will include a rough sketch of what I am trying to doSo if you directly connect to the MR and it works with out the switch in the mix, seems like maybe the switch could be the problem.
- It is certainly possible that it is the culprit, but is it the user? I ask because it's brand new. I bought it right after realizing that the mr60 only had 1 output
