Because the FIOS router is used for FIOS TV Data. Without it I lose FIOS TV functionality. I hope this is beginning to make sense to you. I am looking for confirmation of my thinking to blanket the house in wifi. My wife is disabled and we use lots of smart devices blinds, locks, lights, Alexa, etc.
Thanks for working this out with me
OK, but why not buy 2 or 3 of the FOIS WiFi extenders instead of going with the MR63? That should give you the WiFii coverage you need.
Is there anything the MR63 provides that the FIOS router does not? Also, considering the problems people are reporting with the MR60, it might be a safe option.

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
I told the Chamberlain people that I even manually added its Mac address under the access control! They said contact my isp provider!! I loved this opener and have always liked netgear. Now....
Thanks again for your help. Heading out to garage again.

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
So I upgraded to Firmware V1.04.96 and I'm dropping connection even more frequently than before. Used to be mostly my phone, but now its my computer(s) almost hourly. Everyone else still experiencing the same?

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
I made some recommended configuration changes. Firmware update to this version and now issues are back. I rolled back my firmware to 1.04.92

Anyway, they just released an update which says it fixed exactly this issue: https://kb.netgear.com/000061928/MR60-MS60-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-96. I have tried it and so far so good. @Christian_R do you have more details on what was fixed?
I updated and am having the issue worst than before. Devices say connected no internet yet other devices are online and connected without issue on the same network. I rolled back my firmware to 1.0.4.92

Thank you for responding. Yes it was successful. Everything else connects. I've also restarted modem and router. Uninstalled myq app, cleared wi fi settings, talked to support at netgear and Chamberlain. I don't know what else to try.
I use the Ethernet port for my Chamberlain garage door opener. So far So Good.

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
So ... same experience... brand new install a couple weeks ago... updated firmware to the latest running 1.04.96. No relief... still the same as all on the thread here. The issue is clearly the connection between the satellite and the main router... the satellite appears online but devices connected to the sattelite are not connecting thru to the internet... if I unplug the satellite all devices re-home immediately to the main router and all is fine... luckily my house is small enough not to really need the satelite since the main router is centrally located. Anyway... hope they can fix this... don't waste your time rebooting the main router... just unplug your satelite to gain stability... the devices always stayed connected fine to the satelite its just the satelite becomes an island... not traffic or volume related... just a software bug I am sure..

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
So the FIOS E3200 WIFI6 extender arrived last night, I plugged it in, it cloned all the G3100 settings and bam, I had a strong signal on the second floor -33dbm all the iphones were connected to 5G and it was stable. No setup required at all.
Thanks NetworkGuy1490 for finding that solution for me! I have an RMA for the MK63 from Costco and its going back. I have 75/75, and this was my first test

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
So I unplugged the satellite last night hoping it was just the sattelite. Everything is connected to the main router but I'm still dropping. I can't believe how bad this product is. C'mon netgear. We need a real fix.

I only haven't because I don't know what to replace it with.

I am now a happy camper. One downside...no wifi6. But I will address sometime in the future when I actually have wifi6 devices. Good luck.

Re: Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 Router MR60 losing connection to 2.4 devices
I requested a new router under the 1 year warrenty policy and just finsihed installing it.
When connecting the satellite, something very weird happened. I was using the Nighthawk app and their Netgear app says "Internet Offline".
When I looked at the detail screen, the NEW router dot was RED. In about 30 seconds it turned back to GREEN.
I think the disconnect problems are caused by the base router freezing up for 10-30 seconds. If so, this is a FATAL flaw in the design.

Apprently the disconnect problem existing across the mesh product line. Here is a Amazon review for the Orbi:
I purchased my Orbi system 4 months ago. The setup was easy and my system was up and running in minutes. It worked like a charm between January and the end of May 2017. Then, all of a sudden, the Orbi began disconnecting from the Internet (it showed the "magenta ring of death" at the top of the device) and there was no way to recover from this issue. Nothing has worked, despite multiple attempts and workarounds, including factory-resetting the device (twice), changing ports, changing internet cables, etc. When I factory-reset it, it worked fine for about 3 hours, but then it went back to the same issue. It wasn't able to connect to the Internet (The Verizon router never stopped working). As several reviewers have already mentioned, this issue seems to be firmware-related, but Netgear hasn't had the decency of notifying its customers about this problem or how to resolve it. Why do they make us register the product if they can't at least give us a heads up about known problems with their product?

If you need an alternative. The AMPLIFI HD or Alien mesh routers work perfectly. The AMPLIFI Alien is what I ended up settling with in the end after the Linksys Velop MX5 wasn’t giving me the performance I wanted.
