Last time I reinstalled everything and then it worked for a couple of months but this time it does not work even after multipe reinstalls

Not sure if I asked, if satellites are wireless, is Daisy-Chain Topology checked or unchecked? On depends on how you have your satellites placed. If the furthest satellite relys on the middles satellite, it should be checked.

The connection to the main router still works.
Everything was working perfectly for months, I have not changed everything so I really don't know what to do
