Have you tried correcting the double nat issue?
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

Hello,
I've again upgraded firmware of my MR60 and Satellites of my Mesh wi-fi to version V1.1.6.122 and implemented the proposed solution n. 2.
I need to wait at least a week to see if my problem recurs.
