Orbi Install Experience
Well, 2 hours later I'm up and running (mostly due to the first challenge). It was a bit harder than it should be, but workable for someone who has probably done many wifi acess points, modems, etc,...
I haven't been able to update the Orbi sattelite yet. I've got the firmware downloaded and ready but I keep getting this error; Not sure what to do about this.
The CGI script took too long to produce a response
hi
check your antivirus or firewall is not blocking the connection
ensure you are connected to the orbi by ethernet only
also the download file is zipped , ensure you unzip it before attempting to install
should i be connected to the satelite or the router by ethernet connection? The router updated wirelessly.
connect by ethernet to the router
the rbr50 firmware is installed on the router . the rbs50 firmware is installed on the sat
Had no problems doing a manual firmware update to the router. Even did it wirelessly. I've tried wireless and ethernet connections on both the router and the satellite with no luck. Still getting the same CGI script error message as I originally posted.
I'm really happy with the speed and range of my wifi signal but this problem is beginning to really frustrate me.
You do not unzip fireware updates. That will cause errors. When installing new firmware to any device you never unzip the firmware update. Be careful of what you post as you can cause big problems for people who think you are giving out accurate information.
