Hello,
Thank you for advising me to updat to the most recent FW. I followed your directions and successfully updated to the version you provided
which is "V4.6.7.5". After I had the router up and running I ran a test by cutting power to the router to see if when powered on, it would hold its wifi settings. It did.
I did this on a controlled limited basis utilizing only 2 devices and not my 2 satellites. Since it seems to work, I will roll back the version to where it was, then update the firmware on both the satellites, then the router. Then I will fully engage and hope for the best.
Thank you for your fast help, and patience!
Please let me know if you disagree with my methodology.
