Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password.
Can you get logged in and see the FW version here?
I can’t see if it would be connected via Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net), When I plug it in, and try to interface, nothing happens. It won’t connect to the orbi router. It seems like the satellite blocks the wifi connection for anyone near it.

- I was able to log into the interface, went to software update and the update for the rbs40 failed. Everything else is already updated.

- I log in with admin and password on the bottom of the satellite and I get 401 unauthorized, access denied..has no supplied correct. I tried multiple times, same error
- So the automatic update failed, I tried the manual update as the satellite has version V1.11.0.20
On net gear website and download the firmware update, when I click upload I get a error message that says “the firmware file is incorrect” I tried the latest firmware, the same version it has and one up from what it has, they all say the file is incorrect.
My rbs50 is on V2.5.2.4 - I just realized the new satellite I got says orbi mini rbs40? I can’t find a firmware update for it anywhere.
