There is a possibility that one (or both) of the Ethernet links is flawed.  Backhaul links do not have to "all be the same".

Can you reconnect only the farthest away satellite Ethernet link and see what happens?

(it will take perhaps 5 minutes or more for the system to recognize that the wired link is available)

Then, connect only the first Ethernet link and observe.

 

When faced with a dilemma such as this, I usually bring both of the satellites into the room with the router, get them to sync over WiFi, and then use Ethernet patch cables to verify that they will sync over Ethernet.

 

(Silly question: is the performance using a WiFi backhaul terrible?)
