Satellites not showing up in Nighthawk App

Hi. We setup our Netgear Nighthawk MK63S Mesh yesterday and I have a few questions/problems.

 

First of all, the two satellites show up in the web UI, but not in the Nighthawk App. I believe the satellites were already paired together since they all started working when plugged in for the first time but in the app there are 0 satellites.

 

Second, what are average speeds I should be getting with 15 devices connected and a gigabit internet plan. (For Wifi 5 and Wifi 6 devices)

 

p.s Firmware is V1.0.6.116_2.0.54 and a screenshot of the app is attached below

 

Thanks in advance

    I've seen several reports of satellites not showing up in the app for both orbi and MK systems. 

    If they're showing up in the browser, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd wait on an app update. 

     

    In terms of speeds, its very variable to what device you're testing on, if you're connecting to the 2.4ghz or 5ghz, and whether you're connecting to the satellite or the router. Add in distance and interferece and its tough to say without more specifics as to how you're testing. 

     

    There's a lot of varibles that impact speeds. You could get from 40mbps to 400mbps depending on those variables.

    So the MS are not seen under Network Map tile on the Nighthawk app? Your pic doesn't show the Network Map tile or after you select the Network Tile app. My orbi satellites appear always under Network Map for my systems in the Orbi app.
