None of my wired devices connect to RBS50 satellite
Today I was reworking my two satellite system and plugged in a camera and xbox into the Satellite and neither of them would connect. Also tried my laptop and a roku and nothing. I then tried my lap...
Tried on both satellites neither will connect devices via ethernet ports. But wireless devices are definatly connected. I haven't used Beamforming for MIMO settings at all. I have been reading all the strange issues that people have been having with this firmware version and I may roll back and reconfigure. I hate it when a device has been working fine for almost a year and the vendor screws it up with a upgrade. I just wish there was a easy way to flag manual upgrades like my other hardware has.
Check the ethernet cables as well to make sure they work. Swap out.
Let us know if downgrading helps.
Well it took about two hours:
- shut down the two satellites
- factory reset the router
- telneted in and set autoupdate to no
- Backflashed the previous firmwar
- factory reset again
- telneted back in and found auto update to true reset it to falise
- Resetup my internet options
- Reconfigured the network DHCP devices etc.
- Factory reset one satellite
- Joined it to router over wifi
Tested with my laptop with ethernet cable and got a good DHCP address, also connected the second satellite and tested again with laptop and it connected fine. I can't believe that Netgear would allow these autoupdates to happen without understanding the impact to our routers.
