Removing Satellite / Maximum number of satellites?
How do you remove a satellite from the network map? Also - with the RBR50, is it true you can only have a total of 3 satellites?
>The maximum number of satellites is unknown. People on this forum have reported having 5 or 6 "working fine."
To clairfy, there is a hard UI limit to the number of satellites that you can add. 3 is that limit. The users that have had 5-6 satellites have done so by systematically shutting prior satellites off as a new satellite is added to get around the UI limitation.

I love learning new things from the forum. Do I understand the process correctly to be this:
- After there are three satellites, turn off the power to one.
- "Add" a satellite (the fourth).
- Restore power to that 3rd satellite, and now there are four.
The Attached Devices page shows them, and they work correctly. - To add yet another satellite, turn off power to two satellites.
- "Add" a satellite (the fifth).
- Restore power to those two satellites.
- etc. Each time shutting down all but two satellites.
This is how they are doing it?
