From above you wrote:

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

I have a couple of questions to clarify the above recommendation

When turning on router - should router be turned on before the satellites, or does it matter?

I have a couple of wired bridges connected to the main router, since I am trying to be hard-wired as much as possible.  Should those be turned on after the router, but before turning on the devices connected to the bridges?

Once the RBR is ready, then go for turning on the RBS. I prefer one at a time to ensure they get connected to the RBR fully before turning on the next one.  

    I have a couple of wired bridges connected to the main router, since I am trying to be hard-wired as much as possible.  Should those be turned on after the router, but before turning on the devices connected to the bridges? <You can turn ON the bridges afterwards or just leave them on. They should auto connect one the RBR or RBS are back online.
