RBR50 flashing white light / not working anymore
I've seen a similar problem but going through the solutions has not helped. I've had it for 2 years 7 months with no prior issues but now I believe it's soft-bricked with no return. I have 4 RBS5...
Thank you for those links FURRYe38, I followed up and got the serial to USB adapter, used PuTTY for the terminal interface. The router kept throwing out gibberish if anything after multiple power cycle restarts. The RXD green LED flashed many times as the gibberish was sent over the serial but there was not stable constant connection. I believe this router has completely died at this point. Thank you for all your help.
I understand that without the RBR50 the RBS50's will not work and are essentially paperweights (as they do not work with other routers), but would they work if I was to use another newer Orbi router (RBK852 for example)?
Not sure if the link speed would be a factor in that or not. Not sure if those adapter auto negociate or if there is a specific speed testing. If your getting gibberish and nothing legible, then it's probably a gonner.
The AC series RBS won't wirelessly connect to Orbi AX systems, however they can connect via ethernet.
