Laptop and PC refuse to connect to satellite, but can connect to Router -- advice?
Hi All, I have a very frustrating experience with one of 2 RBS850 Satellites. The Router reports the connection to both are good, most devices appear to connect to either satellite, and also to ...

Note that this was true even with my secondary routers disconnected. I'm running the recent Beta firmware, with the DNS fix, but this problem has existed for me since last summer so I've kept my extra 2 satellites power down.
No, this was not the (sole) reason for my disconnecting internet problems when running more than 1 RBS850. Today my network went down a couple times and each time, was restored as soon as powering off one of the extra satellites. They had nothing connected by wired LAN, only wireless clients. Oh well, I'm back to running just one satellite.
Very sorry that what looked like the solution slipped away. Unfortunatley I am out of ideas -- and your technical knowledge on network sounds like it is much better than mine! I hope you find a solution, without having to spend too many hours.
