Orbi RBK53 System Acting Odd Lately
I posted this yesterday, but it seems the thread was locked. If something is wrong with what I am posting, please let me know, as I really would like some help. I have an RBK53 system with the RB...
Ok this is finally unlocked.
So if you turn OFF all but the RBR first and check the FW update page, what do you see? Then turn ON the RBS50s and check.
Would be a good test to disable Armor as well on the RBR, apply the setting, power OFF the RBR for 30 seconds then back ON and check the FW update page.
Thanks - I'll try these ideas later and see what happens.
You might factory reset and setup from scratch on everything as well if nothing seems to change.
OK, well it may be sorted out now, thanks. I'll wait a few days to be sure since the performance was erratic. But, I took the ideas here and rebooted the router with the satellites off. I was nervous as while it was rebooting it seemed to take forever. I added the two hardwired satellites, and the app showed I was online with two satellites... The first time it had not shown 0 in days, so that was a good start. Web interface was looking good, too. Eventually added the RBS20 slightly closer to the nearest other satellite now (it is still the only wireless satellite), and everything is back to how it used to be with all 3 satellites online. The RBS20 always seems like the problem child of the group, but I don't want to say it was ll its fault for why things went completely haywire for a few weeks. I will think of how I can get it hardwired, and maybe that is all it really needs.
Thanks.
