MR60 reverts to default SSID after power outage

Hi, I've had this mesh network for a while and yesterday I reset the router to factory default because I was trying to get it to work with Starlink (that's another conversation entirely...) In any case, I set up the Nighthawk network from scratch using the iOS app and changed the SSID during the Mesh Network Setup workflow, which was working fine, until the power went out twice during a windstorm. Each time, the SSID would get wiped from the MR60 and satellites and go back to NETGEAR09 and I've had to re-setup the network using the app and the GUI each time. When I go into the Nighthawk app and manually change the SSID and Password in settings it looks like it's doing something but then kicks me out and says "Router not setup" and I have to go through the whole workflow again. The FW was just updated this morning.

Re: MR60 reverts to default SSID after power outage

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?

 

How was the FW updated this morning? Mobile app or using the MR to update the MS and MR units using the MR and MS web page?
