I would try rebooting the modem and router with no effect. The only way to "fix" it is to hard reset my router and redo all my settings, but if I ever need to reboot again, it would lose it all.
Are any of these devices connected to the system with Ethernet cable?
Are you a PC or an Apple house? (there is a tool I'd like to suggest that runs on Windows.)
Have you saved a copy of the configuration to your computer?
(This saves enormous time when doing a Factory Reset.)
I spent a lot of time once configuring devices on my computer and forgot to click the "Apply" button. Was really annoyed when it all disappeared.
everything is connected to through wifi only, and I am on PC, android and iphones
I tried the windows troubleshoot and it says it could not resolve the IP.
The fact that one of your Sats is on a different firmware can be causing your issue. Either downgrade the RBR and Sat 1 & 2 to match Sat 3 or upgrade Sat 3 to match the RBR and Sat 1 & 2. If possible, do the upgrade or downgrade via ethernet. With the problems a lot of folks are seeing with 4.6.8.2, I'd recommend downgrading to 4.6.5.14. After reloading whichever firmware you decide on, do a factory reset on the RBR and Sats, then reconfigure from scratch (or a backup config file). Good Luck!
