What is this FIOS router? Is it a modem router?
Where are the switches in the network?
Router > Switches > MK devices?
Those static IPs are for the thee MK devices?
Satellites in star (both connected to the MR60) or daisychain layout?
One MS60 is fine on wired and uses the wired backhaul and works fine. The other one only syncs over wireless. The moment I plug the wirelessly working MS60 to the wired switch, it turns amber.
Same behaviour if you swap the two satellites?

michaelkenward has went over a lot.
the only thing I'll add is if using the wired backhaul you have to make sure you go
modem---->MR60 wan port----mr60lan port----->switches/backhaul to satellites.
I've seen a few think that the wan port will work as wan/lan for the wired backhaul.
The satellites need to connect to the Lan port and not to a switch that is connected to the WAN port.
