Hi there,

Thanks for your help! Here are the details you requested:

  1. Firmware (FW) Status:

    • All my devices (MR and MS) are running firmware version v1.1.7.134. The app indicates that everything is up to date.

  2. Home Size:

    • My home is approximately 110 square meters (which converts to around 1184 square feet).

  3. Distance Between Devices:

    • The distance between my router (MR) and the satellites (MS) is about 10 meters (approximately 33 feet). The router is located downstairs, and the satellite in my room, which is roughly 20 meters (approximately 66 feet) from the router, stays connected even when I turn off the older satellite that is closest to the router.

It seems the newer satellite remains connected to the router without any issues, despite the older one being turned off which is strange because that didn't work when I first did my setup with 1 satellite (the older one). 

Thanks for your assistance.

For now I will put the newer one further away and see how it goes, right now it seems like the problem is solved. This is strange because when I first did the setup the range didn't go that far and stayed on amber light but now it's fine.
