Completely agree with you. I also had similar issues with Satellites in the last few software releases. Switching the Satellite off also solved my issues.
The solution that worked for me to overcome the bad Satellite behavior is as follows:
1. Switch off the Satellite
2. Go to Attached Devices on the Web GUI and click on the "Remove" button by the Satellite
3. Switch on the Satellite and push the reset button for 15 seconds to factory reset it.
4. When the Satellite comes up, press the Sync button on the Satellte and then the Router to add the Satellite
5. When the Satellite gets added, the Satellite will start functioning as normal and will stop causing issues!
Please try this procedure. It worked for me every time, but not on the latest software (2.3.5.30). That's why I still have 2.3.1.60.
