Nighthawk MR60 Satellite won't connect
I have an MR60 mesh router and 2 satellites. The entire system used to work fine but recently one satellite is unable to connect to the main router and always displays an amber LED.
The router is in the basement (out of necessity, the modem cannot be moved), one satellite is on the main floor and the second is on the second floor.
The main floor satellite is unable to connect after power cycling all devices, factory resetting both the router and the satellite, syncing through the app and the web portal.
Even stranger is that moving the main floor satellite to the second floor causes it to connect and moving the second floor satellite to the main floor causes the issue to happen on that satellite.
I have tried moving the main floor satellite around to see if a different spot would work but only one spot causes the LED to turn blue again but any devices connected have a slow or non-functioning connection. All devices are on the latest firmware V1.1.7.134_2.0.65

If you turn off the working MS, and take the non working MS to same room as the MR, does this MS connect then? Even after try to manually sync it using the sync button in back of the MR and the MS?
Was FW updated on all MS first the the MR lastly?
