  • What happens if you swap RBS with each other? Problem follow?

     

    Have you factory reset the RBS, powered if OFF fully for 1 minute then back ON then wirelessly sync it to the RBR while near or in same room as RBR to trouble shoot this? If the RBS is bad, then it won't sync wirelessly to the RBR. 

     

    Do you know if the FW version is the same version on the RBR as whats loaded on the RBS? 

  • If you swap it with one in the house, is it still that specific model not broadcasting? 

    If you log into that specifics IP address, what does it show on the status page for the wifi?
