MR60 Mesh Router Slow Wifi Testing
Okay, the set up. Netgear Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 from Costco with two working satellites just purchased last month. Cspire fiber optic plan for 1 Gig speed. A direct line from the st...
So we thought the same thing. We disconnected the satellites from the ethernet wall cables. Turned them off completely. Read the signal straight off the main router and the signal was great.
I plugged the satellites back in, one at a time and reintroduced them back into the system. So far, all the WiFi speeds are back to a higher level, and each device is testing well higher than 100 now. 300 to 500 in some cases.
So, it seems like if I want to keep my wall outlets up to date, I need a new switch. It also seems like a simple power down and reboot of the satellites have fixed the seeming limited 100 mbps.
Well done. Good research there.
The good news is that switches are pretty cheap. I use a 16-port unmanaged switch. I have never seen the need for anything fancier.
- We are ordering an 8 port 1 Gig switch as when we walked around the house we only had 4 truly dedicated wall connections going on. Cost $25. So, problem solved and soon my important wall outlets will have screaming internet.
Hope it works great for you!

Then again, I don't do much that I that needs Gb ethernet. Traffic doesn't slow down unless lots of stuff comes together, like making multiple backups to a stack of local NAS drives.
