Yep, and that's why I reset it -- it didn't work.

It's just the satellite firmware update login that I can't get past.
Thanks!
You could try re-syncing the satellite to the router even if iti s running old firmware. However I am curious how you are able to verify that the satellite is running older firmware if you are not able to log into the satellite page?
