CrimpOn - thank you for your advice.

 

I tried the web interface option as you suggested. Unfortunately I keep having the same issue. When I first switch on the new satellite's power supply, its light keeps flashing and/or pulsing white - the light never goes a solid white as it should do when it is ready to sync.  I tried this multiple times at different locations in my house with no joy. Any attempts at syncing keep failing.

 

Any further advice at this stage? Would an attempt at resetting the new satellite help at all?

 

Just to clarify, my router is running the latest firmware (V2.7.4.24). 

 

Thanks,

Maryanne

    I tried the sync buttons too - still no joy.

     

    I have tried factory resetting the new satellite and not managing - the power LED is meant to flash amber once factory reset successful but it won't do it no matter how long I try.

     

    Any other tips?

     

    I am close to giving up

      I wonder sometimes if the physical reset switch is lined up exactly with that tiny hole in the case.
