RBR50 Very slow to start after reboot
Hello, I have an RBR50 with 3 Sattelites attached. It's running firmware V2.7.3.22. The issue is after it is powered down and then turned back on again it takes at least 10 minutes before it's ...
Thanks for that response. To tell the truth, I haven't watched the lights closely. I will try this another time. But I know when I have done firmware updates and such I can not connect to anything after powering up the RBR for a good 10+ minutes.
Before having this unit I had an ASUS router with the same fiber going into the house. And restarting it I would be back on the internet within 2-3 minutes.
Maybe early in the morning I will try a reboot and pay attention to the lights and the internet connection to see what I can find for sure.
Thanks. Look forward to hearing what happens.
Would you happen to remember if your ISP connection requires a User ID and password, or if it is based on DHCP?
I would like to experiment with my Echo Dot to see how long WiFi can remain off and it still connect automatically. How long was your power outage? (Or... how long would a loss of WiFi have to be to form a suitable test?)
I have a username and password and it is DHCP.
My power was off for 5 hours. But each time I have done a firmware update and rebooted the router (and sats) my Echo's would not work. I would have to unplug and then plug them back in and then they are fine. Now it seems the same is happening to my wifi lights made by Black and Decker. I have 3 sets of those and none worked until I unplugged and plugged them in again. 2 of my 3 Echo's did not work. Classic Gen 1 and Echo Show 5 inch did not work. The Echo Show 8 inch did work after the power outage (this is my newest and I think the first time it has had to reconnect after the Router was off).
