Can't Manage Router when Connected via Satellite and Can't Manage Satellite when connected to Router
Hi Guys,
I just got the RBK50 Kit and everything is setup in AP mode and it all seems to be working correctly. One thing I noticed however, is that when I'm connect to the satellite, either by being pysically closer via WiFi or plugged into it's LAN jack, I can't ping or access the Web Interface of the Router.
Conversely, the same is true when I'm either closer or plugged in directly to the router (I can't access the satellite web interface or ping it's IP)
Is this expected behaviour? If so, is there a workaround?
- So I was able to fix this by a simple reboot of the satellite. Some kind of glitch clearly!

This is not expected behavior. I can manage my router & satellites from any location.
Perhaps you should perform a sanity check on your network, e.g., check that your assigned LAN addresses are all unique.
