Nighthawk MR60 needs to be factory reset every day
When I awake in the morning every device I have can't connect to my router, so I have to go through the pain of manually resetting the router to default, letting it start up as the default SSID, then...
- What firmware version are you on for the router and the satellite? 1.1.6.122 on all nodes.
- What modem/gateway are you connected to? Hitron cable modem from Spectrum
- Are wired devices unable to connect? Correct - they cannot connect (my laptop - Windows 10)
- Does a reboot fix it? No. I do at least two (2) reboots before the factory reset.
- How long has it been going on for? The last two (2) nights.
- When it drops, are you able to log in through the gui on the browser? No, I cannot do anything with it until the factory reset has been performed, then I have to go through the scan of the QR/manual selection of the network.
What is also weird is that I cannot rename any of the satellites (i.e. "Upstairs" and "Backyard"). The free-form text window comes up and I can type in it, but when I am done it doesn't commit - ever.
I bought this July of 2021. I put in a request today to replace the hardware, seeing as I'm outside of the regular support.
what hiltron modem? they make a lot
Have you tried reinstalling the firmware to the satellites and then the router? Maybe something is corrupt in the firmware
Then do the factory reset/reinstall.
EN2251 is the Hiltron Model. Do you have a link to the instruction to do what you're talking about with the firmware? I truly appreciate your help with this.
