RBR50/RBS50
Hi all! I have an RBR50 with an accompanying RBS50 Satellite. The Router is a beast and gets me on average 400+mbps. This is hardwired to the modem on the first floor of my home. The second floor has...
Thats correct, we got the router and satellite in 2018. The FW is definitely what I stated it is. The IP address I had already accessed before posting the issue I have. It opens up my Verizon Fios Router Admin Access, which I use to turn off the provided router during installation to not interfere with the signal coming from the Orbi. As for that Orbi Login, yes, I understand the concept it is technically like the IP address to access the router just like the one mentioned above for my Verizon Router. Issue is, I only have Orbi App access in my phone and it opens with face recognition. I do not have the Login Username or PW. I downloaded the latest firmware (I believe I Stated that in the OP), but have no way to install it. And trying to update the FW through the Orbi app on my iPhone comes back "There was a problem checking FW Update" (see attached screen capture)
Something to get with Verizon about then regarding any and all FW updates from them.
Ill give it a shot thank you. I just cant wrap my head around how Netgear hardware would be affected by Verizon since it was an entirely separate packaged product. An accessory that they happen to sell, sort of like Apple selling beats headphones or logitech products. And the strange part is that the version seems to not have ever upgraded itself this entire time. I only realized this after all these years because the person who uses the satellite never mentioned anything as they were getting low but functional speeds from the main router 2 floors down. I may just prepare the household for an interruption in service and start a reboot, reset PW's, and start from square one all over again. In any event, I appreciate you and all the folks on here for offering your knowledge and know-how. Ill post updates when I get something notable to disclose.
Hope that goes well.
