Firstly, I reset the MR60 router and changed the Wi-Fi SSID and password to the Alien SSID and password, which can be found on the label at the bottom of the Alien satellite. However, I faced an issue where the original satellite (that came with my initial setup) could not be added. To fix this, I changed the SSID and password to the label located on the MR60, and then I was able to add the original satellite using the app. For the second step, I made sure that the Alien satellite was left on. Additionally, I turned off Armor. So, the trick is to change the MR60 SSID to match the labels on the satellites and add each one individually.
Netgear insists that you use a mobile app to set up these Mesh systems.
If you look careful;ly at the browser graphical user interface (GUI) you should see an option to set it up with a browser.
If you haven't done that already, I'd try it. The app can't handle anything out of the ordinary.
If you scroll down the page on the MRs 1st page, you'll see a link for if you don't have a mobile device.
You don't have to set up the MR and MR using the NH app. Web browser is supported.
