Rbr50 bricked after latest firmware update
My rbr50 went through the firmware update cycle and appears to have bricked itself. The green led power light is green and solid. The reset button does nothing no matter how long I hold it down the li...
Thanks I’ve tried the alternate reset method and it doesn’t behave any differently then the regular one. I haven’t tried tftp as it doesn’t issue an ip address either on wireless or through hardline so I assume I can’t send anything via a network transfer. Anyone know of a way to have it read/load firmware straight off a USB key? I will give the tftp approach a try since I can assign a static ip and try and route to it that way.
Neither method of doing a reset results in an addressible device. I'm guessing this thing is truly a door stop at this point. Which is irritating given that it worked perfectly fine before updating itself.
