RBS20 Remole Reboot
How can I reboot the RBS20 remotely? Why can't I go directly to the RBS20 in a browser and there is NOT a selectable function to reoot the satellite? What does this all mean? I do not see this ...

Like FURRYe38 , I would be interested to know the reason why the satellite needs to be rebooted remotely, and exactly what is meant by "remotely." i.e. (a) somewhere else in the house, but not in the same room as the satellite, or (b) outside the house and the Orbi LAN.
The instructions for using telnet to reboot an Orbi router or satellite are great from inside the LAN (where walking would probably be faster), but become vastly more complicated from outside the LAN.

The couple of times i've tried the reboot from telnet, the RBS never came back to ready. I had to power cycle the RBS. :smileyfrustrated:
