  • First manually download the RBS and RBR FW files from here.

    http://kb.netgear.com/en_US/000061838/

     

    Unpack the FW from the .zip files. 

    Use a wired PC for this process. Safari(Mac), IE11, Firefox or Opera browsers are recommended.

    Log into the RBSs web page and send the FW file there first. IF the RBS already has this version of FW, you can skip loading the RBS. 

    Then send the RBR FW file lastly.

    Factory reset the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch. After makeing sure the system works after setting up, be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. This saves time if a reset is needed again.
