Orbi RBS 40v

Question

How can i flash new FW on an orbi Satellit seperatly without Router?&nbsp;

The RBS40V has extender mode or orbi mode. Which one needs updating?

If you don't have a orbi router, I'd imaging you're using it in extender mode. you can log into it as the manual describes to update it.

And if its in orbi mode, I think their default ip address is 192.168.1.250 to access it (have to be connected to it).

Hello!Thx for your reply. The rbs40v is a part of a rbk50v system. I have update the Rbk 50.After updating , the RBS 40v was not found. I have no connection to that devise. In the orbilogin or orbiapp there is no Devise shown. Ethernet connection between&nbsp; Router and Satellit shows the same result. The rbs40v flashing only white, hours for hours. If i connect it seperatly with my pc with an Ethernet cable it was shown for a view seconds as unknown Network without adresses. I think the Firmware is coruppted. Is there a way to flash only the Satellit with new FW. I heard about FTP Client to do that at the Router.&nbsp;Excuse by bad english.Greetings from Germany

Greetings from minnesota in the US!Have you tried hardwiring the RBS40V into the rbr50 unit?&nbsp;another thing to check is if the RBS40V is in extender mode and not orbi mode. Try changing modes. The quick start guide goes over it.&nbsp;https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBS40V-200/RBS40V-200_QSG_EN.pdf&nbsp;

Hello again.It looks like a complicated stuff for me. My problem is, that i can not get access to the satellit by orbi mode to update the device. I have switched into extender mode and updatet this mode by using 192.168.1.250. Your hints are very good.thx!The rbk50v schould be worked only&nbsp;as an access point with the rbs40v. Is it nessesery to update the device in orbi mode. There is no connection possible&nbsp; between router and satellit and i can not get the firmware into it. The device pulsing white and the green light near the powerswitch flashes all 6 secondes once time by orbi mode. Nothing else&nbsp; will happen.&nbsp;Something is wrong here in my system. I get stupid and i get sick.....to complicated for me!Wish you a nice day and thx.&nbsp;

If you switch it to orbi mode and connect it via ethernet back to the main router it should simply use the wired backhaul.&nbsp;Have you tried this?&nbsp;then you can try updating through the orbi interface. Or even load the firmware manually
