ORI RBS50 and RBS50Y Firmware update after RBR50 update
I've updated the router RBR50 firmware to V2.3.5.30 before updating the firmware of the Satellites which are still on V2.3.0.28 and V2.3.1.60, respectively. While the satellites show connected in the...
All,
I was able to update the firmware of three RBS50 to 2.3.5.30 using either of your methods, but the outdoor satellite RBS50Y refuses to sync (ends in magenta) even after factory reset, so I cannot access the interface via IP address and it doesn't have LAN ports. I have not done a reset of the RBR50 yet to resync with the upgraded RBS50 since I intended to have the RBS50Y upgraded first. Any ideas, i.e. should I downgrade the FW of the RBR50 to a version prior to 2.3.5.30?
try shutting off all the satellites and only leaving the router on. Log into the router and if the RBS50Y shows up in the attached devices page, click on it. There's a disable sync function that might be enabled or you can potentially delete it from there. Then try moving the RBS50Y closer to the main router and doing the setup.
Unfortunately no luck at all. All Satellites disconnected and I had the RBS50Y already removed from connected Satellites / basic page / attached devices. I varied the distance between RBS50Y and RBR50 from 12 feet to 6 feet to 3 feed. The white LED on the RBS50Y keeps blinking since two hours.
Time for the paperclip. Reset the RBS50Y to factory and start over.
