so while the satellite's top LED was lit up as magenta, i tried to sync the satellite without clicking the SYNC button and it did not find it. The magenta LED was lit up the entire time.

more investigating, i've wired the satellite to the router. The router detects the satellite as a device (not sync'd at this point) and has given the satellite and IP.

I can prove that by changing the WIFI SSID on the router and the Satellite also changes to the new SSID.. but the satellite still cannot sync with the router...
So defeated at this point... =/
