Using Router Configured as Access Point Cannot see Satellites in web browser application
I am new here but I did search the forum to try and find and answer to this question:
IThe routers and satellites are all running firmware 2.1.4.16. When the router is configured as an access ...
Yep, you can even connect your laptop to the farthest satellite and still access the routers web page.

Good Morning FURRYe38,
well, the network is up and running and seems stable for now. I disabled the IGMP feature on the switches and then powered and added one satellite at the time using the wireless backhaul connection at first. Once it seemed to want to work, I powered down the satellites and plugged them into the switches via their LAN ports and powered them on again one at the time. I did not go back to the web app to check the stats of the satellites as they powered-up and gave me a bright solid blue light. I will check tonight but at least I have a wireless and wired network that is stable. One thing though, the network crashed when I had the router plugged into the switches via one of its LAN port. The configuration I am currently running is the following: Router in switches via Ethernet port and both satellites plugged into the switches via their respective LAN ports.
Conclusion: the jury is still out on whether or not the satellites are using the ethernet backhaul and if they have formed the mesh network properly. I'll know once I go to the web app tonight and I'll get you the manufacturer and model of that cable modem.
Stay tuned, there is more to come!
Cheers
