Hmm. Any updates? I just bought this system today and I hooked up one satellite and router. Then I went a upgraded the firmware. Everyone worked fine. I then decided to add the 2nd satellite, however, all it does is just blink white. Did I mess it up by only configuring 1 satellite rather than both at setup? Help.

How big is your house?
A factory reset on the 2nd Satellite should kick it into reboot mode with default settings and the LED should start to blink white. If it doesn't, then this Satellite could be faulty.

My house is about 3500 square feet but the walls are solid concrete. Now I see the power light blinking red :(

You could test the other Satellites Power supply with the 2nd one to see if it could be a power supply issue.
I would ask for an RMA for the 2nd unit.

I appreciate the assistance. If I can't figutre it out in the next 15 min, I'm taking this back to Costco and exchanging it. Just bought the dag gone thing today :/
