Power Ouage

[WAPond]

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 satellites is showing red instead of blue.  How do I get this device back on line?

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? 

[WAPond]

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)

[WAPond]

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.

Satellite 2 works in the middle location, and Satellite 1 works in the remote location.  I can live with this.

Let's close the case with my thanks to all who helped out.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
