Using MS70 with MR60 and MS60
Hi all,
My dad (tech illiterate) has purchased 2x MS70 satellites to increase the size of his current mesh network which uses an MR60 and 2x MS60's.
He was told these would be compatible by the salesman at the store but after following the installation steps and checking for software updates I have been unable to add the MS70's to the network?
There are two threads about using the MR60 with the MS70 (or MR70 with MS60, but that is not my situation), however both have failed to raise a solution to the issue and just kick the can down the road for a future update. I can't think of a reason why the 70's shouldn't work with the 60's other than poor design?
I'd greatly appreciate any support.
Thanks.

Did you notice this link in one of those conversations?
I wouldn't trust a salesman's word on this, bit it is a shame that Netgear does not have a definitive compatibility list for people to consult.
I did stumble across that but wasn't sure if there was more up to date info elsewhere. As the boxes have been roughed up looks like we're just gonna have to stomach the cost for now and put off mesh upgrades until the new year đ. Thanks again
