Nighthawk MR60 Satellite Ping spikes when gaming
Hello. I have an MR60 Nighthawk Mesh setup in my house. I have the main router hooked up in my office, and my gaming PC across the house. The PC requires Ethernet, so I opted to place one of the sate...
Apologies, my wording might have came across oddly. I referred to the MR60 as the Main router, as it's the point that plugs into the modem (Spectrum D3.1 eMTA DOCSIS 3.1 Advanced Voice Modem, couldn't find a model number). The firmware is 1.1.7.134_2.0.65 on both the MR60 and both satellites. The satellite is connected wirelessly to the hub, which I assume is where the problem lies. Are you able to connect them via ethernet for better stability?

Yes. "Wired backhaul" is a better option, if it doesn't mean digging a trench through the middle of the house or tearing down walls.
I use Powerline Ethernet but that doesn't suit everyone. I am stuck with VDSL Internet.
You have the newest firmware. So no problems on that front.
I may be able to run an ethernet backhaul cable. I already have a hole drilled down into the crawlspace for one cable, cant hurt to put another down there!
Thank you for this! I'll be running the cabling this weekend hopefully. I'm really hoping to see this issue disappear when I do! It's been pretty rough lol.
