Yes, I swapped them before. I have done it all! LOL. Except disabling AC though. The reason why I bought them is because of the meshed connectivity, so removing the satellites will be counterproductive for me though. I'll disable it for a couple of months, since the issue is usually in a month or so. Same interval, which is weird...... Thank you!
The system works fine for a whole month, and then devices no longer have internet access? Is it the same day of the month? Is it every device that is connected to one satellite? (or to both satellites?)
When a device loses internet, how is it described on the Access Control web page? (Allowed or Blocked?)

Yep, that was the issue! I've been using it without the AC, and so far no issues (since November 2021). I really liked the AC feature, but I prefer a steady connectivity. Thank you for the suggestion, it worked! Gracias.....
