I have a different problem - my satellites show devices connected to them that are also shown as connected to the other satellite or the router. So it's hard to tell what the device is actually connected to.

Could be a result of stale/cached info. Give them more time to sync their info or just power cycle all the Satellites first and then follow by the Router itself. This will take a bit of time, but it will refresh the database for the connected devices unless you are running into a config sync problem.

Those of you who live alone, and can do whatever you please with your router / internet connection whenever you please, be aware that you are lucky to have those options. My wife and kids freak out and whine and complain if I cause any issues with the wifi or internet. So I will not be able to do what you suggest until no one is home, or very late at night or very early in the morning.

Yup, or if you want to have an instant family meeting. :-)
I would normally do this sort of disruptive change/upgrade during the curfew windows, 2 hours for lunch and break, 4 hours for dinner and homeworks, 8 hours bedtime, etc.,.
It's the main reason I still deploy my old router to do fine grain scheduling parental control, malware protection, and content filtering. Unlike Mickey Circle, all these features are FREE and bundled with the rotuer.
