Hi Furry,
Tnx for the quick reply. I do not have a password or so. So I cannot log in to the thing I think, without resetting it.. Or is there a way?
Kind regards

I would disconnect the router from the modem and ALL other devices accept 1 wired PC. Do the reset pin button in back, hold it until the top LED turns on Amber, then it should start to blink WHITE then pulsate slowly WHITE. If you get to this point, you should be able to log in at 192.168.1.1 or orbilogin.com and set up the router from scratch. If this fails, you'll need to contact NG support.

- Yes! It worked! Not immediately though. But after repeating the exact same thing there times.. I did get different result. Uhm.. Yes.
But it works! Thank you for your help!Make sure you walk thru the set up wizard and write down important information for safe keeping and use later on if needed.

The satellite never shows attaches to system.
The router firmware is up to date.
The router firmware is unknown since it does not attach to system.
The reset on the satellite goes from green to blinking red and back to green.
The reset on the satellite never glows amber.
The top of the salellite continues to pulsate white, forever.
You can update the RBS first with out conneting it to the RBR with a wired PC/Mac. Wire connecrt a PC to the RBS and wait for the PC to get an IP address. Log in to the RBS web page at 192.168.1.250. Log in admin and PW is password.
Make sure the RBS is on same version of FW as the RBR.

Thanks for responding! I have a question.
How do I attach the RBS40 to the computer?
The RBS40 does not have a USB port.
The RBS40 has ethernet ports only.
My computer has only multiple USB ports.
My computer has one ethernet port used for input from my internet provider.
