Nighthawk MR60 Setup
hi all, I used to have a google wifi ac1200, and recently just upgraded to this MR60 (was told it'll be faster 🙂 setting up was a breeze with 2 satellites, and i used the exact same setup with my...
You can try optimizing placement of the satellites. hardwire a laptop into them and test their speeds in different locations.
You can also try using different wireless channels. Sometimes theres interference on some. So swap the 2.4ghz and 5ghz channels around a little to see which is faster for your area.
it's way pass the return window 🙂 I'm stucked with this one for now ...
is there anything else i could try to get it a little faster? i thought i had bad cables so i switched them all, still nothing changes 🙂 i'll also try to run cable in walls to connects those satellites - but that'd take me a while
my friend mentioned changing the ipv4 dns to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - will that improve anything? do i also need to change IPv6 too ?
thanks for helping 🙂

sometimes trying different placements can make a big difference as things in the walls (hvac/plumbing/etc) can make big differences. I've had locations further away be faster because it removed tiling in a floor that was blocking signal. So again, try different rooms/locations in the room to see what gives you the best speeds.
I'd also advise to avoid daisy chaining as that can really slow down speeds.
Daisy: router------>satellite------>satellite
use a star configuration
Star: satellite<--------router-------->satellite
you want the router centrally located so the satellites connect directly through it for the best speeds.
