Thanks FURRYe38 🙂
Problem 1
In this instance, I'm sitting on the sofa and I have a direct line of sight to the router 4.5m away. The satellite backhaul to the router is over CatV.
I have only the vaguest idea what this means: "Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings" But I like a challenge and will find out.
Problem 2
As noted, both satellites connect to the router directly over CatV.
Absolutely nothing in between.
Might try and replace with CatVI in future, but not sure that's related to this problem.
Problem 3
Currently auto and 48.
