Re: RBK853, wired backhaul: one satellite loses connection to router and daisychains to other satell

I have an update on this matter for anyone who is interested.

I did a factory reset of both satellites.

Then I started them up and synced them to the router, one at a time, using the wired connection in their final/intended resting places 50 ft away from router in other rooms/other floors. 

(When I initially bought the pack, not knowing any better and following the instructions or so I thought, I synced them wirelessly and at the same time, sitting next to the router on the same table.)

I have had stable wired backhaul star topology for five days now.  No spontaneous daisy-chaining has occurred.

The Cisco VPN thing appears to have been a red herring.

Thank you for taking the time to give me your input, FURRYe38 Mikey94025
