You're using 9 satellites?
are they hardwired in?
running over wireless?
You can use more than the recommended amount of satellites but if you're using wireless, I'm surprised its working at all as you're way over the recommended amount.

Well, that might explain it. I've had the system for a year and a half. I have to admit I hadn't reread the user manual recently - System was working fine with six satelites. I just wanted to add access to the detached garage for a wi-fi sprinkler system. So I ordered a few more satelites and I set them all up - even though I don't need all of them right now. But I left them active for a few days. I'll see if I remove some of them, if the remaining ones go back on line.
I'll have to figure a better way to arrange the ones I have to cover our house. (It's a 1930s house with heavy lannon-stone (field stone) construction. So the I needed the mesh system to better penetrate the construction of the house.
Thank you.
I'll come back and comment here once I find out what happens when I go back to six satellites.
