Whats the difference between MR6x and MK6x

I have a MR62, for a couple of years now. Mostly very happy, though a couple of times I had to struggle with it. Recently it just didn't let me connect to it. I think it was a firmware update. Eventually I found a workaround that strangely was wifi password dependent.

 

As i was researching for issues I came across MK6x which seem the same system even with the same design. Wifi-6, EasyMesh, etc. and both are one of the cheapest WiFi6 mesh you can buy.

Seems that MR6x is not sold anymore and was replaced by MK6x. Is it just a revision or are there changes in features?

  • MR60 is the router

    MS60 is the satellite

    MK6* is the both of them together with the * denoting how many router/satellites together. (MK63 is router + 2x satellites for 3 devices)
