MR60 Help

I need help. If the MR 60 is even worth saving. I have had this since 2020. And enjoyed maybe one year of connectivity. Quite certain the firmware is well out of date. It will not connect to my network. Therefore, it is not extending sad network.

 

What in the world am I to do? I cannot buy a new system at this time. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you connect to the MRs web page at all? If you can you could get it updated manually if it's out of date on FW. 

     

    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. CAT is recommended. 
    How many MS are deployed? 
    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellite(s) been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed?
