I haven't done a thing with the firmware for a while, thinking things would just update on its own.
My RBR50 is at v2.7.3.22, showing 'no new firmware version available'
RBS50 is at v2.1.1.16, showing 'update failed'
Naturally I went into the Manual Update mode to update RBS50. Once I checked the box under RBS50, it prompted me to log in to my satellite. I didn't even realize there was a username/password combo for this. I tried the same combination as the router but it didn't take it... then other possible 'default' combinations such as 'password' and such... to no avail.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this? Thank you in advance for your help.
Eeeks, ya the RBS needs to be updated first.
Try this, Factory reset the RBS and don't sync it to the RBR. Have the FW 2.2.1.210 and v.24 downloaded on a wired PC. I think you may need to apply v210 first before v24.
Press the reset button on the back of the RBS for 15 seconds then release. Wait 5 minutes with the wired PC connected to the back. You should be able to use a web browser and navigate to 192.168.1.250 and use admin and PW. Should get you in to the RBS web page and update with the unpacked .zip file. I would use MS Edge or Firefox for this.
Thank you - I will give that a try.
I am almost at a loss as to how I even got here, as firmware (so I thought) gets automatically updated and therefore I am where I am. Devices that are closer to the satellite are not connected to it, rather to the router that is further away.
I appreciate the advice.
