MK6x: MR60/MS60 attempting to add six MS60 's to mesh. Was able to add four MS60 's. Help!
I purchased three MK63 's, each contain one MR60 unit and two MS60 units. I have been able to sync four MS60 satellites to one MR60 router without issue. Works fine! I need to extend the wifi netwo...
The ink wasn't even dry on POST before I attempted one more idea.
I reflashed the firmware on the router (MR60) and satellites (MS60) to V1.0.6.116_2.0.54
Why this release? It's the last stable level I remember using.
Maybe, their is a better level. I haven't yet attempted V1.1.6.122_2.0.58.
All I can say is "When I changed to V1.0.6.116_2.0.54, six satellites can be added to one router and the network is operational."
The stress testing now starts, we are a busy, high-tech, digital family that has stressed & hung a few networks that were not up to the task.
We don't have time for gear that doesn't work well. Which means stable, always available, & fast. Re-covers after a power outage, etc...
I'm pleased to say Netgear has shocked me with this wifi 6 mesh offering.
Much better then expected after a few problem products from Netgear.
I've been forced to purchase recycled commercial gear in the past because consumer grade offerings could not handle the demands or never got out of defect hell to the point of a stable network with critical features working.
Credit when credit is due. Well done Netgear! Keep up the good work.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
