RBR50 won’t boot up
Hi. I previously posted on the community about the inability to upgrade my RBR50 firmware from v2.7.2.104 to v2.7.3.22. I now have the dreaded 'bricked' situation where my router will no longer boot....
Hi pbarham / Paul. Thanks for the response and link. I will see how I get on connecting the serial cable and resetting my config variables. Sad to hear that the router failed again but I can't say that I am surprised. What Ubiquiti system did you get out of interest and how have you got it set up?

cdbarker We moved house recently and the new home had a bunch of Unifi WiFI 6 access points that were left by the previous owner:
https://www.ui.com/wi-fi/. When I installed the app to reconfigure these, I really loved the software and all of the disgnostics. (see https://www.ui.com/consoles for an idea of how flexible this all is!)
As a result, I decided to buy one of their 'Dream Machine' router/accesspoint/managemet consoles https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-unifi-os-consoles/products/unifi-dream-machine. I can also add PoE access points incrementally to increase coverage in a large house, and have control over wired/wirelss backhaul etc.
It's a nice, solid piece of kit, and it seems you get what you pay for in this space. (though, to be honest, it's not much different to the Orbi prices really if you shop around)
