Ya, someone you talked to wasn't fully up to date or got sided tracked.
Glad the power ON process worked. Please mark your post thread as solved so other will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

Thanks for the help.
Had just spent almost an hour on the phone to Netgear support, who were adamant that I had to put a cable between the two satellites. And that was despite me telling them that the Netgear web site clearly showed that daisy-chaining was now an option, over the star setup.
