Does the satellite work if you hardwire it into the router?

when you say hardwire? you mean an ethernet cable from one of the router ethernet socket to the satellite? if so then yeah, i tried that, still pulses white.

the default ip address for a factory reset satellite is 192.168.1.250
any luck using that to access it if you have a hardwired in pc/laptop?

i cant browse to 192.168.1.250, i get a "site cant be reached" page in chrome
I can ping it though, so when i try to tftp FW to it, i get a "Transfer timed out" error when i attempt to PUT the img i downloaded from netgear support.
- billypatelMar 13, 2022TutorI’ve come to the conclusion that my satellite is dead. Spent many hours trying and it just remains pulsing white.
So… I want to replace the satellite. Can I purchase any orbi satellite or does it have to be an rbs50?
