Using Router Configured as Access Point Cannot see Satellites in web browser application

Good Morning FURRYe38,

well, the news is not very good. In fact, it's not good at all.  As you can see from the attached picture, the satellites show up as attached devices, not as satellites. Additionally, the show up as 3 different networks, all bearing the same name for some devices. So, I tried hooking up the router and satellites as in the pictures from that article I cited earlier, ie router to switch via LAN port just as the satellites. Well, the result is not good. No laptop, no phones, no tablets, no streaming music system, nothing can pass the "obtaining IP address" step in the logon to the network process. My laptop could not even open the web app whether plugged into a LAN port of the router or even plugged into the Ethernet port. Windows was telling all the while that I was connected to the network AND had internet access. Frustrating at best. So, right now I have turned off the satellites and I am running only the router, still in AP mode, but plugged into the switch via its Ethernet port. Not ideal but at least I have something to work with.

I did get the manufacturer and model of my IPS modem. It's a Hitron CDA-RES. More here: http://www.hitron-americas.com/product/cda-res/

So, anyone has any idea of what direction to point me into? I sure can use the help!

Thanks

Simon
