Wired backhaul issue with MR60/MS60 System

FURRYe38 Thank you so much. You nailed it.
The culprit was Netgear ProSafe GS110TP. I swapped it out with Netgear ProSafe GS108 and reconnected MS60s in Family Room and Living Room through wire. They started working and the other 2 MS60s are connected Wirelessly as there is no drop there. I have the home network the way I want configured.

I will try both of your suggestions upcoming weekend. I will report back after trials.
1. Moving the MS60's around to see if the problem follows.
2. Swapping out the switch to something simpler.
I have a suspicion the 2nd one might be the culprit; keeping my fingers crossed.

Great to hear.
Possible that couple of items on the GS110 could be effecting the MS, IGMP Protocols and GreenEthernet features. Can check the switches web page for these and disable them and see if the MS will connect properly. Or leave the GS108 on.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I will leave GS108 in place as I don't need GS110 anymore; I had GS110 to deliver PoE to my desk phone which is going away. I spent way too much time on this issue to continue to troubleshoot GS110. Thanks for your help. I will mark the issue as resolved.
