Same issue here. Was up and running for a week with three satellites and then it hard reset today rendering me completely useless. Ended up having to default it back to factory and tried to reconfigure it. It still woudn't work. The network kept resetting and forcing me to set it up repeadidly. I think something went bad in the router. Just set up for a return to Amazon and went out and bought a new one from the store. Took some time but this is now operational. Not very impressed with the setup. Very quirky but when its up the speeds are great. Would love to know if there is a fix for this??
