Is the FW up to date on the outdoor satellite?
What is the distance between the outdoor satellite and base router?
Have you tried connecting the outdoor satellite in the same room as the base router and set it up there, then once connected, power off the satellite and move it to the out door location.

outdoor satellite firmware unknown.. cant get far enough (per instructions) to ever see it.
I've only tried setting it up in the same room as the base router...
flashes white for awhile then just purple (without me ever "SYNCing").. never goes white in order for me to sync.

This is NOT possible. The outdoor satellite has NO RJ45 ports.
