New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
Netgear just pushes out another firmware version, 2.3.1.48.
Please share your experience!
Ok, lets change the PW for the wifi SSID name on the RBR save and reboot. Lets make that something different. I know it shouldn't matter however maybe something is happening here. I always change the WIFI pw to something different other than the default one. You may need to re-sync the 1st one...worry about this later.
When you get a RBS connected fully, yes do a address reservation on the RBR under Advanced tab/Setup/LAN Setup, save and apply. Then add the next one.
keeping the original SSID AND password from the RBR is actually the main difference i have made this time. Thougt i get them all up and running, than change the SSID to a new one I havent used before. Same with the passwords.
So far, for every RBS connected, I have factory reset the RBS twice, it connects (finnaly) turns blue, sometimes amber, and i see now i have used the wrong colorscheme here all the time. Prior to this post, everytime i have typed Amber, I have meant the color Magenta. (Is it ANY excuse that I am norwegian?)
Typically, it flashes white, then turns magenta, I then hit sync (again) after "setup failed" message appears, and try again. With or without factory reset. Suddenly i turns blue, stays for a little while, turns back to magenta, stays like that for a few minutes, before turning blue again.
I wish there was a logfile describing what processes it tries to do, and where it fails.
I have seen it where it turns blue the back to magenta then blue again.
So you now have every RBS connected and at BLUE?
Set up IP address reservations for each of them. This will help keep them connected and from IP address conflicts.
