there is a newer version you can try. Make sure to update the satellites first, then the router.

Do you have more than 1 satellite? Have you tried it on each ?
What firmware version are you on for the router and for the satellites?

Have you tried a another Ethernet cable in case the one you have has short or disconnected wire that's hanging the satellites? It is straight or crossover but I'm not sure which one your switch's uplink port requires.
