Orbi Satellite RBS50 pulsing white forever
So up until Thursday (January 30th, 2020) our wifi was working fine. On Friday our family started to notice some issues. Occassionally the wifi would just cut out and not be discoverable for a few mi...
I have exactly the same issue.
RBR50 is working fine only the RBS50 keeps pulsing white signal and WIFI doesn't work (on the satellite).
I have a backhaul ethernet connection and I do see the satellite in the Orbilogon/Basic/Attached Devices tab. The sattelite backhaul status is good and the devices that are connected with a UTP cable to the sattelite work fine.
When I go to Orbilogon/Advanced/Firmware Update, the satellite is listed. Current version is the same as the router (2.5.1.8) but the status mentions "Waiting for connection".
Tried to reset, manually succesfully again uploaded the latest firmware with tfpt, ... but no difference.
For some reason, it's working again. Kept the satellite running/starting up and this morning I got a WIFI signal.
Orbilogin also indicated a working satellite. The only difference that I see with the situation before is that the Orbilogin/Attached Devices overview now shows the satellite with an Orbi icon. Before it used to display a Linux Tux icon.
