Community TeamPM Sent. Really do not want to do a factory reset. I know I can just restore from a backup but I am concerned about the satellites not being re-added after the restore. If I can confirm the satellites will work without re-pairing them with the main router, then I'd be OK with a factory reset as a test. Ideally I would like to just have this fixed, though.

The RBS will re-sync to the RBR if you use same SSID name and PW if you reset the RBR.

I use three satellites and only one of them re-synced with the RBR after the factory reset & restore the config backup. Had to factory reset and re-add the other two. Kind of a pain since one of them was in the ceiling of our detached garage.
