    I now have 5 satellites. They all seem to be working. Each satellite has a 24 port switch connected to it.

      Wow - 5 satellites?  It says 3 is a hard limit in multiple places in the software, support areas.  Do you know if that limit was raised beyond 3 Satellites in the latest software rev?  Your iphone/android screen shows a big "5" on the main screen?  That's definitely big news.  Anyone else pushed it beyond 3 RBS50's?
