Power Ouage
I have a Netgear MR60 MESH WiFi Router and two satellites. Everything on the main system is working fine, but I recently took a utility company power interruption, and the light on one of the satell...
Does it work if you swap satellite 1 and 2 around?
Have you tried facotry resetting the satellite and re-syncing it?
Or trying to hardwire it back into the router and syncing it?
I have brought the satellite within 15 feet of the router, pressed the synch buttons on both the satellite and the router, and got a blue light on the satellite. When I unplugged the satellite from the area near the router and plugged it back in at its remote location, all I could get was a red light.
I then went back to the router and pushed the synch button. Then I went to the remote satellite and pushed the synch button No joy there either.
So it sync's by the router but not where you move it?
Sounds more like its a distance/interference thing.
How far from the router is it?
What materials are the walls made of betwen the router/satellite? (certain materials block wifi)
The walls are concrete and brick, but I had good connectivity before I experienced the power outage. I have a linear arrangement with the router, satellite 1, and satellite 2 (the one with the connectivity failure) in a line. Satellite 1 has the masonry walls between it and the router. It has good connectivity. There is nothing but air and 25 feet of distance between Satellite 1 and Satellite 2. I had good connectivity before the power failure. One would think that it would be easy to restore the connection between Satellites 1 and 2.
