Orbi satellite flashing and not pulsing white
I bought another Orbi RBS 50 to work with my existing system. I have an existing Orbi router and one satellite and wanted to extend the WiFI system in my house. As soon as I connected the new Orbi...
Thank you for your prompt response. No problem downloading the information to update the firmware for the new satellite but as it has not connected to the router when I go to manual update it will only display the original satellite Orbi. I note that the new satellite Orbi is running on V1.12.0.18 and my system is running on V2.1.4.16 but how do I get the firmware to update when it willnot display.
You'll need to manually download the FW update files to your PC.
I have already downloaded the correct FW on my computer but how do I now transfer it to the RBS50 if I cannot download it manually via the management site?
Hello flamenca,
Please follow these steps and let me know if you run into the same issue.

Hello Christian
Thank you for the info. No problem following the directions to download the upgrade but as the new RBS50 is not acknowledged as being connected there is no box to indicate conduct a manual download. I have read that the only way to update the firmware for this problem is to do it directly via TFTP. But How?
