Please help MS80 connection issue!!!!
Hello everyone, I've had my MR80/MS80 for 6 months without any problems. However, yesterday, I noticed one of the satellites in my garage continuously switched between orange amber and blue lights. A...
Interesting that the User Manual (page 15) shows only two colors:
Usually the first question is, "What Changed?". Could be something as simple as placing some object in the path between router and satellite (garages often are used to "store stuff" and WiFi is sensitive to passing through materials.) Or, the orientation of one of the devices could have been changed.
The units have both been rebooted?
What is the physical distance between router and satellite?
Got it thank you for your information. I think i know why this issues happen to me since a week ago i got power outage and after that i think everything is reset but then the issues recently appear. I might need to run a ethernet cable to the Satellite in garage using Backhawk feature so hope all connection are stable.
Thank you

The problem with a power cut is that things can go wrong when the power comes back on.
The satellites can start in the "wrong" order.
I have seen this. My layout is designed so that one satellite sits about halfway between the "remote" satellite and the router. To get the best signal, the remote satellite should talk to the "middle" satellite first, but it ends up talking to the router.
The solution is to run off the remote satellite and wait for the router and the one in the middle to get their connection. Then turn on the remote satellite and it usually sees sense and reconnects to the other satellite.

If it is easy, the wired backhaul should be faster and more reliable, but it may depend on the geography of your network.
