any suggestions on how to get this connected?
The used satellite may need to be "Factory Reset" before it will sync. (It could be looking for a previous router.)
Satellites reset the same way as routers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMw4ePACgc4
thank you. will give that a try and let you know.
- I rest the refurbished satellite. But now I’ve noticed when I press the sync button on the RBR40 router it doesn’t blink.
