Change satellite from Access Point to Orbi Router?
Hi I have a satellite that was originally an RBR50 router, but that I converted to an RBS50 satellite. It seems to work. However, if I log on to the satellite itself, via webgui, it first show...
How to flash stock RBR firmware back on the unit is no issue, and there's no need to use tftp to do that.
My question here is regarding why the unit reports as being an "Access Point" instead of being an "Orbi Satellite".
What setting makes this difference for an RBS50, and where to find it?
Something in what is programmed in the code that converted the RBR to RBS. Something to ask the providers of that.
Flashing back to stock should revert the RBR back to stock operation. Possible the conversion change makes changes to areas of FW that should not be changed or is not getting converted.
There are no user configuration settings for RBS. All is controlled from the main RBR when stock FW is used.
You'll need to consult those who you got the conversion FW from about that.
This forum is for stock FW running systems.
