Adding a 4th satellite

[Hsaag]

I know that officially the system only takes 3 satellites and I was advised that a software update may be released to extend the ability for 4th but I am getting conflicting info from net gear.
Can anyone guide me (I'm untechnical) on how to add a 4th satellite and get it to work properly?

Hello Hsaag

It is recommended to use 3 but users have had 4 work just fine and there is nothing special to the setup you do the same methods to connect a satellite normally.

i did try to add the forth but it wouldn't let me set it up. I didnt get a stable white light to then sync

Try to factory reset that unit and then try to sync it in the same room as the main router. Also you may need to plug a cord into the unit itself and log into the gui and do a manual update of the firmware if it does not sync.

Thank you so so much , but what cord and what is a GUI when I said I'm untechnical I really meant it!
Factory settings is the reset button ?

Thanks for your grlp

Yes hold the reset button for 10 seconds on the unit. And i am talking about a ethernet cord and then log into the satellite.

just a note here , i think once you get over 3 sats you would get deminishing returns backhaul throughput wise and maybe why the max is stated at 3
