HI,

 

I see that it was stated that max of 3 satellites, but I am having a real hard time getting the 3rd satellite connected.

 

Is it me or there's wrong info out there?

    Hello mikegyver

     

    What issues are you running into when setting up the third?

      Darren,

       

      I got it going....  brought all the satellites into the same room and disconnected the 2nd one that did work, then sync up the third, then brought the 2nd one back online.

       

      thanks

        Just another data point -- I have 3 satellites and had no extra problems installing the 3rd.  (Why do I have so many?  To improve connectivity with a couple outdoor wireless cameras where outside connectivity is much worse, presumably due to house construction interference)
