The firmware version is V2.3.5.30 on both units.
Yes you have a point. However, no unit is connected to the satellite. That's a first indication the satellite is not ok. Otherwise the units in its direct vicinity would connect to it. At one point, right after it had restarted, I saw one unit connected to it. few seconds later, after it'd gone down and up, zero connected units. So it seems pretty clear, the satellite is not ok.

Well, back to the store it goes. Thank your lucky stars you did not purchase it directly from Netgear. Returning a product to Netgear direct is a modern day verion of Purgatory.

Hi
So, I sent support a ticket yesterday, under the 90-day free support "offer".
Today I got a several page long list with nine different items with information they say they need from me, in case they need to escalate the issue. In case they need to escalate the issue! How about starting with the issue at hand and see if it can be handled without escalation?
Half of the stuff was information I already gave and the other half irrelevant for my issues. Everything in extremely poor swedish obviously machine translated from english(?).
Not a single word on the actual issue.I am NOT impressed.
