What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Are the RBS directly connected behind the RBR or is there a ethernet switch in between?
Try swapping locations around with the other working RBS to see of the one will work there...see of the working one does same thing at other location.

I am currently running Firmware V 2.7.0.70.
I have both satellites hardwired directly to the back of the RBR50 router. Ran fine for over two years. Now one RBS satellite will not connect.
I will try to swap them and see if that does anything.

Please downgrade to v16:
I foudn that v2.6/.7 versions of FW cause problems when RBS are ethernet connected.

...and?
- Stallion69Dec 03, 2020TutorI will try swapping them and let you know. Weird why I have to downgrade firmware. Isn’t the whole point of upgrading firmware is to make the product run better?

In this case you were probably better off to NOT upgrade. Many of the FW versions have been and continue to be NOT ready for prime time. Use at your own risk.
