I had to unplug each satellite (I did one at a time), then plug it back in, let it boot up, then revisit the Firmware Update page in the router utility, and check for updates. At this point, the satellite showed I was still on a version 3 software. It also indicated that an update was available. I updated one at a time. Each worked. Since those updates, each satellites backhaul status has been Good.

Can you provide any guidance?
