Cables & connections
Ethernet Cable
Cmple Cat 6 Ethernet Patch Cable, 5 ft
The official MK83 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 MK83 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 Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System MK83 as MK83 kit: one MR80 router plus two MS80 satellites. It documents Wi-Fi 6, AX3600 class, MR80: one 1GbE Internet and three 1GbE LAN ports; each MS80: two 1GbE LAN ports. 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 Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System MK83 exactly: MK83 kit: one MR80 router plus two MS80 satellites. Wi-Fi 6, AX3600 class 2.4GHz and two 5GHz bands; tri-band radios provide 600Mbps, 1200Mbps and 1800Mbps class links, with a mesh backhaul band. MR80: one 1GbE Internet and three 1GbE LAN ports; each MS80: two 1GbE LAN ports. 12V DC, 2.5A per MR80/MS80 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. MR80 is the router; two MS80 units are satellites. Use MS80-family expansion documented for MK83; Nighthawk Mesh and Orbi component families are not interchangeable. 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. Product availability and security-service bundles vary by market; hardware and firmware must remain on the matching MK83 family. 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.
- Power: 12V DC, 2.5A per MR80/MS80 unit.
