A couple things to try. 

1. Not sure if the MR series supports wpa3 but I've found a few smart devices that struggle with it. If you're using wpa3, try disabling it and using wpa2

2. make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4ghz during setup. It shouldn't need to except for lazy coding on the app makers for devices that are only 2.4ghz capable. 

Current setup: CM2000-> RBKE963B-> Trendnet TEG-S380-> GS716T-> pi-hole
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

If you do need to know what the MR60 is capable of on the wifi front, try the appropriate section.

The NH MESH system broadcases 1 SSID name for both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios. Its based on a Smart Connect wifi system. 


There will be more information and help over in the NH MESH forum.

 

Good Luck.
