Orbi RBR-50 Bricked?
I know this topic has several associated posts, many of which I have followed, but I'm stumped about how I can get my Orbi working again. It has been faultlessly working for many years until I mov...
You should be using most current version of FW, not 1st version. Possbile corrupted FW parition could occur going back that far.
If you can get most current version back on and the RBR running, try a 30-30-30 reset on the RBR then see if the web page setup wizard appears at 192.168.1.1. If this doesn't work, then possible the RBR is busted.
Thanks for your quick input. I flashed the Router with the latest Firmware and performed the 30-30-30 rest, but I still cannot connect.
It takes a while for the Orbi to assign my computer an IP (always 192.168.1.4), and when it does, I can ping the router with no packet loss. However, with every browser I try to log in with (after clearing the cache), I get the same response:
Unable to connect
An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.1
I've tried many things, but I think it's dead. The annoying bit about it is that it worked so well until I moved it! Who knows how it got bricked?
I will move on to a new Mesh system and call this one a day.
