Ok, let's all do some basic troubleshooting...
Are all satellites failing to connect? Or just one or some? If it's all the
issue is likely at the base station, while if 1 or more still work the
issue is likely localized.
Are the satellites connected with Wi-Fi or wired?
Finally (and possibly most important) was anything changed or anything
happened to the system between when it worked and didn't?
