Hi
Thanks for the reply.
It was originally green.
As the updates got too much for the app to do.
I have a Mac and can get on the web site.
I only happened to look on the app to be honest.
Nothing is allocated.
The rbr 50 is working fine.
The rbs 50 is working fine.
I can try that program.
Would a re sync be of help.
Both units are to the latest firmware.
Thanks for the teply.
Annoying that a firmware update causes issues.
Regards
Brian

As a "factory reset" will not cost you much time, I would do one. It can't hurt. Get a paperclip. Unbend one end. Stick it into the tiny reset hole next to the power plug until the power LED turns amber and then begins to flash. Do both the router and the satellite. Then, connect your Mac to the router with an ethernet cable, point the web browser at 192.168.1.1 (or orbilogin.net) and go through the setup. Make the WiFi name and password exactly what they were before and everything will connect up automatically.
Just personally, I do not activate Parental Controls (Disney Circle) or Armor during the initial setup. Plenty of time to go back later and turn those things on if you need them.
I'm not a Mac person, so I don't know how to telnet from a Mac. Please let us know what satelliteinfo wifi reports.
