I was trying to do it using the iOS app, going to the Network Map and then clicking on each satellite. Based on your question I logged in to orbilogin.com and succeeded. Thank you!
Now, not to be greedy, but I have another question: One on my three satellites is connected to the router via another satellite rather than directly, even though the two satellies are about equadistant from the router.

Thanks,
Tom

If you disable daisy chaining it will force the satellites to connect to the router.
