RBS50 Connectivity problems and Issues
I have the same problem with almost the same symptons that reported in the following thread https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/RBS50-connectivity-issues/m-p/1902652 Just starting , nothing...
Another question about manual update , let me see if I understood very well .
1 - I Need to connect a Notebook wired to the Satellite , enter to orbilogin.net to the satellite and the select update manualli (in the meantime RBR 50 is running and connected to the internet) .
2 - Connect the Notebook to the router (wired) and perform the same step mentioned in Point 1 for the Router
Is this procedure ok ? , because I always update (twice only) the firmware via the App in the smartphone and automatically via wifi in the orbilogin or the Router address in the wifi network ///
Let me know if the procedure is ok - Thanks in advance

Is this procedure ok ? YES. Using the Orbi app isn't recommended to do FW updates. , because I always update (twice only) the firmware via the App in the smartphone and automatically via wifi in the orbilogin or the Router address in the wifi network ///

Going to test everything and taking notes to post - I can see that there are many users with similar issues , so I dont know if satellites have a kind of expiration date (a joke , I hope) Thanks for supporting .
Hope you find something that helps.
Check on the FW update as well.
