So take a RBS to the same room or near the RBR and use a LAN patch cable and wireless sync the RBS to the RBR, the after that, connect the RBS to the RBR. It should sync correctly and check the RBS satus page. Let us know if this happens.
My two are fully wired:

Ok. Will give that a shot. Btw, are your satelllites wired directly to the router ie star topology or are going via a switch ?
Thanks

Behind Switches. NG GS 108 and 105 series. I have a 108 behind the RBR. For the one in the DiningRoom, There is a 2nd switch after the 108 switch. For the one in the BaseMent, There are two 105s after the 108 with the RBS in be basement connected to a 105 there. Been working like this for years. I actually had 3 switchs in between the RBR and basement RBS however I was able to elliminate 1 switch last year.

Cool. I have a NG GS 108E and GS 105E2 as well. The NG GS108 is next to the xfinity cable model router and the GS105 is next to a satellite/home computer where I needed more ethernet ports
I will give this a shot today
