Re: i have nighthawk mr60in ap mode but the satellites are with the orange light
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
I would first set up the MR and MS while the MR is in router mode.
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first with the ISP modem...

Re: i have nighthawk mr60in ap mode but the satellites are with the orange light
I tried the options you gave me, in router mode the satellites connect at once but when I change them to ap mode they stay connected and then when the power goes out the satellites do not connect again, they present the orange light
My isp Router is: HG8145V5 and my isp dont admit bridge mode
my NG Router and Satellites version are: V1.1.7.132
