I called Netgear Tech Support
Hey, My Mr60 just had the same problem. Running fine for almost two years prior. I called Netgear Tech Support. Their explanation was that my Armor Guard Trial subscription was expired and eventually all my Netgear Equipment would error (I have DSL and Cable Internet in home and I have MMr60 Mesh and Orbi whole home and two Nighthawk Routers also. Belts and suspenders because I work from home and all our entertainment is over internet. They quoted me various packages up to $799.00 for a lifetime "family" package to cover all current and new equipment forever. This seemed "phishy" to me so I hung up. My son and I attempted several factory resets and finally on the third try, I was able to get the Mr60 to reboot and I was able to successfully use the phone app to setup the Mesh, same as when I first purchased. Don't get scammed into purchasing or extending the Armor Guard. Netgear has good equipment. They should make sure that their India tech support is not scamming customers into these expensive security packages.Access Control Security Issue
Why has the Access control feature been removed from the security tab in the web interface? I found this very useful in controlling who and what devices could connect to my Nighthawk WiFi 6 mesh setup? Was very good for using the MAC Address filtering. Now it tells me to use the APP but unable to find where the Mac Address element in the App sits? Now I find that any new devices don't need to be given access and can just with the password get access, is this not a security issue? unless I'm missing something somewhere in the app? Any help why this Security Access has been removed and pushed onto the app will be appreciated. Steve ANighthawk MR 60 Web Interface
I have always used the web interface to access MAC address filtering to add new users. Today after logging in to add a new phone the web interface is advising me to use the APP to access this feature? Where is this feature in the APP that makes it easy as I cannot find how or where to do this? Why are we now being asked to use this when in the past it was in the router web interface and easy to find and why not just leave it where you can use either? What happens if your phone gets lost or stolen?
