Does the new MS connect to the MR and sync if you ethernet connect it to the MR? 

 

Try this:

The  join button on the back of each does not connect the new satellite.

Does anyone have a solution. I am told the MS 60 SSID cannot be changed.

 

I did see something about changing the router SSID temporarily and connect to the new satellite.

Then change the router back to original.

What happens after a power outage - which occurs here regularly?

Will the router reconnect to the orphan? Probably not.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
