Satellite Light Is Solid White
Folks, I have two satellites plus the main MR60 unit, and one has a white light now. Tried unplugging it a couple times but it stays white. Is there anything else I can try before getting a new satel...

OK I tried to reset it by the little hole in the back, but whatever is inside didn't move at all when I stuck the pin in there, and the white light stayed on. Shouldn't it depress when I push on it?
how do I access it with a web browser?

It is an almost imperceptible click. The best weapon, if you don't have one of those bits of metal that come as a SIM release tool with mobile phones, is the end of a straightened paper-clip.

The best option is with a wired connection to a PC.
One problem is that the satellite will not have an obvious IP address.
If you plug the MS60 into the MR60, the satellite should show as an Attached Device. That will show you its IP address. Enter that into a browser and see what happens. The login details should be the same as the router.
Check that the dodgy satellite has the same firmware as the one that works.
Just another user with time on their hands.

OK I found a new satellite on ebay and it's arriving tomorrow.
will I need to set it up / pair it whatever, or just plug it in?

The new satellite doesn't work either. Is 60' + too far, between the two satellites for this MK60 system? Maybe that's the problem?

I would start at 30' and graduate moving it out ward from the MR. Depending upon building materials, I'd sat no farther than 50'.
