SXR80 does not connect with SXS80 satellite
Hello, I've spent hours trying to get the SXR80 to detect/connect with the satellite. In both the app and the web dashboard, it shows no satellites being connected. Under "Attached Devices", the SXS...
Ok, if it's got same version of FW then should be ok to leave SXR where it's at.
Is this SXS is same room as the SXR? At 10-15 feet in between, if you factory reset both and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser to walk thru the setup wizard on the SXR, the SXS should get synced.
I tend to leave the system alone right after I've factory reset SXR and SXS and let the SXS auto connect and sync to the default wifi SSID name. Once there, the SXR setup wizard routine should find the SXS and complete adding it and the setup routine. I then will change the default SSID name to something else after I get to the home page on the SXR.
So as I was figuring out how to change the FW, I connected my laptop to the SXS via ethernet and was able to login into it.
I can confirm that they are both on the same FW version and apparently also connected to the router.
Would still be worth downgrading the FW?

- After a few tries, and a few factory resets, your suggestion of going through the setup worked. Thanks for the time and info.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
