MS60 is stuck in a white-orange-blue blink pattern
We have a MR60 + 2 x MS60 setup. It's been running okay for ~1 year, after trying to work through a wired backhaul problem and failing (we've had to leave one satellite without wired backhaul). ...
So what happens if you bring the MS to same room as the MR, don't ethernet connect the MS to anything. factory reset the MR and MS and leave the MR and MS along for say 2-3 minutes with out doing anything. Press the reset buttons on the MS first for 15 seconds then release. Then press the reset button on the MR for 15 seconds then release.
The MS should after a few minutes auto connect to the MR using the factory SSID and PW and turn BLUE.
I will try that, but, does any of this setup vary if one of the two MS60's was bought separately? I bought an MR+MS set, then bought another satellite. Do units purchased together get programmed with prior knowledge of each other, or are they totally independent, and able to find each other "out of the box" no matter what?
Any ideas what the "blinking-white, then amber, then blue" loop indicates? It looks like a reset loop, which is never a good sign. So I can't tell if the advice thus far is basically guessing "the config is screwed, reset it all and start over". Also, why would a functioning system suddenly fall over with no intervention? Typically hardware like this keeps working if you *don't* touch it, but breaks when you try to upgrade it.
Possible.
