Cables & connections
Ethernet Cable
Cmple Cat 6 Ethernet Patch Cable, 5 ft
The official MK73S resources document a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. This five-foot Cat 6 patch cable uses RJ45 plugs and can connect the device to a router or switch. Actual link speed is limited by both ports and the full installation. Use separately rated permanent-run, in-wall, outdoor, direct-burial, shielded, or PoE cabling where required.

Amazon Basics RJ45 Cat 6 Ethernet Patch Cable, 15 ft
The official MK73S resources identify an RJ45 Ethernet port. This 15-foot Cat6 patch cable has standard RJ45 connectors, so it can make a short indoor connection to a router or switch. Actual link rate is limited by both ports, the complete cable run, and the installation; this listing alone is not evidence of 5 or 10 Gb/s operation. Use separately rated Cat6A, permanent-run, outdoor, UV-resistant, direct-burial, or PoE cabling wherever the device or site requires it.

Additional useful information
This guide identifies NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System MK73S as MK73S kit: one MR70 router plus two MS70 satellites; the S suffix denotes bundle/service packaging rather than a different radio node. It documents Wi-Fi 6, AX3000 class, MR70: one 1GbE Internet and one 1GbE LAN; each MS70: one 1GbE LAN. Use the linked manufacturer instructions for initial setup, recovery and model-specific compatibility before adding nodes, cabling or replacement power hardware.
This page covers NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System MK73S exactly: MK73S kit: one MR70 router plus two MS70 satellites; the S suffix denotes bundle/service packaging rather than a different radio node. Wi-Fi 6, AX3000 class simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands; dual-band radios shared by clients and wireless mesh backhaul. MR70: one 1GbE Internet and one 1GbE LAN; each MS70: one 1GbE LAN. 12V DC, 1.5A per MR70/MS70 unit.
Configure the system with the Nighthawk app and supported web interface. connect the kit's router component to the modem or upstream gateway and follow the Orbi or Nighthawk app flow for that family, then synchronize the included satellites. MR70 is the router; two MS70 units are satellites. NETGEAR lists MS70 for MK72/MK73/MK73S systems; do not substitute an Orbi satellite. NETGEAR kit numbers encode a specific router and satellite count, so use the component identities here when adding a satellite or replacing a unit; a nearby RBK, MK or CBK number can describe different radios and ports.
If the Internet link or a satellite fails, check modem/SIM/coax service as applicable, WAN cabling, adapter labels and satellite sync LEDs, then restart components in topology order before resetting. Press the recessed reset control until the documented LED state appears; factory reset removes the component from the system and requires setup/synchronization again. The included security trial/subscription and pack designation vary by market and can change independently of hardware support. NETGEAR's support page still provides downloads and documentation as of the review date; subscriptions, sale status and warranty vary by region. Update router and satellite firmware as a matched system before diagnosing backhaul. For replacement power or networking parts, confirm the label voltage/current and port speed on the exact component, not only the kit number.
