RBR050 - Web cannot login fully to router and app doesn't show all satellites
Hi I recently noticed that I cannot now login to my RBR050 via web. I can login but when trying to display the homepage, I just get 2Please wait a moment" with a whirring animation while it tries to...
Just to update you guys. I resolved the issue by restoring the October 2021 config backup that I had taken, so I'm assuming that the configuration must've got corrupted somehow.
I did start to notice weird things happening on the Network Map on my Orbi app when I noticed that the satellite, that eventually disappeared, was daisy chained to another satellite even though my wireless config wasn't set up for daisy chaining. I did have a lot of devices (40 out of 50+) with reserved LAN addresses also which may have had an impact or maybe the 50+ devices is starting to make the router "creak". I haven't configured as many reserved LAN addresses this time.
Anyway, I avoided the factory reset or firmware updates, so I'm happy. Thanks again for your responses.
Have you tried a different browser or device?
Hi plemans thanks for the reply. Yes, I have tried different web browsers and different Orbi app (android/iOS) but they all behave the same way.
So to summarise, all of my 3 satellites appear to be operational.
1. One satellite is not visible in the Orbi app and any mobile device.
2. Accessing the router via the web in any browser receives a 400 Bad Request response when trying open Advanced>Access Control
Basic>Attached Devices
Basic>Home
Is the web config file corrupted possibly? i.e somethiing to do with the ACL that relates to the 1 satellite that is not displaying in the app.
Looking through the forum, it appears that other people have had this issue and have had to revert back to a factory rest. Crazy! I've been on this firmware for ages and it has only recently gone wrong. I have a .cfg file from August 2021 which I may try to restore and see what happens but I'm not so sure as the router/satellites are working. I don't want to perform a factory reset.
