RBR50 no longer detects satelites
hi, i noticed on the app that the satelittes were no longer connected. So I brought them closer to the Router and pressed connect on all 3. They all started blinking white for short period, one o...
conclusion was that the satellite is broken beyond fixing/rebooting/resetting
I switched to the 873.
Hi,
pressing reset does not work so far I tried it 3-4 times. Also turing it off for 5+min doesn't work.
Today I hardwired (ethernet) the RBS50 to the RBR50 hoping it would make it visible for the ORBI management software so it could be updated via http://orbilogin.com (assuming only pairing etc was broken) but that did not work either.
I have read somwhere that perhas connecting the SBS50 directly to a laptop was an option? But I can't find it anymore or how to flash it from a Macbook.
Try the link I posted about the self service web page.
Unfortunately that is Windows only, I use a Macbook. đ¶
Same works for Mac as well.
Probably, but the first part of page 3 (with an RBS fresh out of the box) is not going to work for me, since all my RBS power led does is blink red. What do I do? Just connect the laptop to the RBS, power it on and try to find 192.168.10.250?
1.Power up the RBS from out of the box.
2.Wait 2 minutes. (From RBS already powered ON and synced skip to next step.)
3.Press and hold the factory reset button in back for 15 seconds. Power LED in back should go from solid GREEN to blinking AMBER. After 15 seconds press has passed, release the reset button in back.
4.Wait for the blinking power LED to change from AMBER to solid GREEN.
5.Un-plug the power plug from behind RBS for 10 seconds then plug back in.
6.Wait 3-5 minutes. DO NOT sync the RBS to the host router (RBR).
7.Open a web browser. (MS-Edge for Windows PCs or Safari for Apple PCs)
8.Navigate to 192.168.10.250 in the web browser.
