- Feb 03, 2021I became aware of the latest firmware while browsing this forum. Neither the app nor the web interface indicated an available update. I downloaded the files via my computer and performed a manual update via the web interface -- one satellite first, then the other, then on to the router. (RBK50) In the past, I have had updates pushed out (only once); notices both on the web and app of firmware updates available; and updates that I found were released via this forum which I've manually installed (the latter seems to be the most frequent way I have updated firmware). Through all ways, I have never had the slightest issue with downloading and installing updated firmware.

Power off the satellite for 1 min. Afterwards power on and check the state in the web admin GUI.
But be patient. This can take a few minutes.

I powered off the satellite but didn’t wait for a minute. I’ll try that later. While I was having the issue, the browser would only connect to orbilogin.com or routelogin.net but it was connecting to the satellite instead of the main router.

It's recommended to power OFF the ISP modem and entire Orbi system for 1 minute after a FW update, then back on with the modem first, then RBR, then RBS...

The satellite most likely had a bad firmware upgrade. No amount of power cycling could resolve the issue. Eventually, i did a factory reset on the satellite. It didn't work after the first factory reset so i repeated it the second time (i put the reset button with a pin while the satellite is powered off for 7 seconds, and just to make sure, i also did that for 7 seconds while it's powered on). The second factory reset appeared to have worked.

Sometimes a reset is needed. I recommend 15 seconds press to reset.
Glad you got it working.
