OK, I got it working.
Background: My firmware version was V2.5.1.8. I realized I recently updated to this version. While checking things via the admin page, I noticed V2.5.1.16 is now available. Before the update, I did another factory reset of the satellite that was giving me the problem. It didn't solve the problem, so I did the firmware update.
Afterwards, the problem remained. I remembered that the network map, at one point, had the satellite listed twice. Then I realized all of the devices that connected to it were not able to access the Internet. This included cell phones and tablets. I moved the satellite, shut off a smart speaker, released the IP address, and turned it back on. The smart speaker attached to the satellite in question and accessed the Internet!
I went to the access list, and I saw all of the devices that had connected to the satellite, in its normal location, were blocked. I unblocked them and now all is well. My guess is that when the satellite was in the network map two times, all of the connected devices were automagically blocked.
