First set up the satellite via wireless. Can do this near or in same room as router. Get the BLUE led on top to turn on. When you see this, connect a known working LAN cable from the satellite to the router. The top led will probably pulsate on and off white. Then may change to Pink, then eventually turn BLUE. Give 5 minutes for this process. Once the top led is BLUE, you can test it by connecting a wired device to it and check internet access, or turn the satellite OFF and move it to its remote location where there is the main LAN cable connection placed there back to the router. Connect the LAN cable there to the satellite then turn on the satellite. The top led should come on BLUE.
