MR60 MK62 Firmware Version 1.1.7.132 issue - No WIFI
I updated the firmware on my MK60 & MS60 mesh system. I upgraded from v1.1.6.122 to the latest v1.1.7.132 and my WIFI devices started dropping off and couldn't connect. I recycled power a few times...

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.
After v.132 was applied, it's recommended to factory reset the MS and MR and setup from scratch. Be sure that you loaded the MS first, then updated the MR lastly. I have this version of FW loaded on mine and it's working pretty good.
What devices do you have connected?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between MR and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
