MR60 Satellite issues
I have the Nighthawk MR60 Mesh system. Recently, we have noticed that nothing is connected to the 2 satellites that we have. We even have a TV right next to one of them. Anyone know what to do about this? I am not very tech saavy.

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between MR and MS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Firmware is V1.1.6.122
All satellites are over 30 ft from router. I bought these in August. It had showed prior what device was hooked up to the router and satellites. Now it appears that nothing is hooked up unless wired in, even though all computers and tvs are working.
