Tried resetting multiple times and nothing changed. I fully reset the router (MR60) and nothing has fixed the issue
By resetting do you mean the reset "pinhole" in the back?
No luck with the Sync button?
Have you tried moving the MS60 nearer to the MR60?
Is is just one satellite? Or do you have others?
Is it wired to the MR60 or on a WiFi link?
The light is constantly solid white when plugged in.
That's not in the usual repertoire. Are you sure it isn't blue? They can be confusing.
- abindaMar 26, 2024AspirantYeah i tried resetting using the pinhole on the back. I tried moving it closer and wiring it into the router but no luck.This is the only satellite i have and it’s just solid white, it does not blink or anything, as soon as the power goes in it becomes solid white.

Log into the MS web page and update FW there. You can update the FW directly using the MS web page.
