Thanks - I have gone back to the firmware version you have suggested - but no change!

What happens if you turn down the power output on the RBRs radios from 100% to say 50%? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

 

You may need to move the RBSY farther out from the RBR...

    thanks - I'm afraid reducing the power made no difference. I will give it one more go further away though.

    It's now down the bottom of the garden, still trying to connect with the router rather than the other satellite.

    I have attached the screen I get from logging directly into the garden satellite

      Sounds like you have a bad RBSY or a RBS that the RBSY can't connect to thus the RBSY wants to connect to the RBR. 

      I would make contact with NG support about this.
