MS60 satellite showing up as an attached device that is wired. Does not register as a satellite.
I've been trying to troubleshoot this, but I could be looking at this all wrong.
I have a MK63-100NAS I bought from Costco, comes in a 3 pack. 1 Router and 2 Satellites, or I think is 2?
It is able to sync up and work correctly, full coverage, but I am 100% not sure if one of the satellites is actually acting as a satellite? When I go into the web interface, under attached devices, it only shows one satellite connected and the other "satellite" as a wired attached device, but it is definitely not wired. It is just plugged into a wall outlet. I do have a device wired into the satellite and that device is labeled as a wired attached device.
Both satellites have different IP addresses.
Is the third satellite suppose to show up as an attached device?

What a bogus exchange. I have a very new AX1800 WiFi 6 Mesh system. I couldn't get the network map to show the router + 2 satellites until I got both the satellites synced with the router. The sync button is on the back of all 3 units - check the instructions, but as soon as they all have blue lights, they're synced.

They're both lit blue, it's just one of the satellites of under my attached devices. The only option I have not tried was to reset it all back to factory.
Just wasn't sure if one of the satellites being under the attached devices would make it act differently?

I'm not sure what you mean by "under" the attached device but if one of the satellites has a device attached to it by a cable, that may be why it shows up that way. If all 3 lights are blue and the devices are all working, you should be fine. If you felt like it, you could detach the device attached to one of the satellites and then sync that satellite to see if that changes its designation.

BTW, my bogus "comment refers to the "form" above, which is supposed to be filled in. My new AX 1800 is nowhere in the list of 3 million devices.
