are you using a wired or wireless backhaul?
Make sure wireless 1 is using the default vlan.
You can change it for the other ones but it uses wireless 1 for backhaul connection.

Oh interesting. I am using Wireless backhaul, and for whatever reason, Wireless 1 did not have the VLAN set. I just set it to VLAN 1 (the default).
It seems like devices are connecting to it, but I just went to check the 2nd satellite and the light had turned blue after running for about an hour (which means it has a good connection, but I'm not sure why it would flash blue again).
I'll let it run the rest of today and report back what I've found.

I just checked the satellite and it is showing as magenta, but when I check the status from the Insight app or the orbilogin.com page, it shows connected and having clients.
Is this perhaps an issue where the satellite is working but showing the incorrect status with the LED?
