MR60 and Nest Thermostat

So after hooking up my new Mesh router from Costco, my Nest thermostat won’t stay “online”. Nest thinks there’s a protocol issue and asked me to hotspot my phone, and connect Nest to phone to confirm. Sure enough, Neat stays connected to my phone hotspot but that’s not a long term solution. Anyway to get the MR60 to step down to a 802.11(b,g, or n) protocol to be compatible with Nest? Maybe on the guest network side perhaps?

    What modem/gateway is the mr60 connected to? 

    What firmware is on the MR60?
    if you shut off the satellites for the mr60 system, does the nest stay stable?

      It is an Adtran 401 Gateway using Comporium Fiber.
      Router is on V1.0.6.110_2.0.49 firmware. Satellites on or off doesn’t change stability of my Nest.

        Have you tried setting the nest with a static ip address?
