RBS20 have to Satellites and trying to add two more
I have been happily using an ORBI RBS 20 with 2 Sats for a long time. I just bought 2 more (used) and I can connect to them via wifi, but I cannot get them to sync to the existing. I am using the...
The FW on the newer RBS maybe older or prior to what you have currently loaded on the existing system which the RBR and RBS all need to be using same version of FW.
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR.
Thanks for the reply. After having my laptop for about 4 years I realized it does not have an ethernet plug... I now can at least get internet from the satellite on its name. But still no luck synching.
