RBS50 Sync Issue
Just got a new RBK50 system with an extra RBS50 satellite. The router is working fine, and one satellite synced successfully and shows up on orbilogin.net. I cannot get the second satellite to sync. ...
Solved the issue. Discovered that each satellite also runs its own HTTP server. So if you satellite has an IP of 10.0.0.2, you can hit that in a browser, enter your orbilogin.net credentials and get a page specific to that satellite that allows you to update firmware.
My rogue satellite that was connecting, but not showing in Attached Devices, wouldn't even show up using arp -a so I used the IP of the device that was wired to it (.40) and walked back addresses in my browser. Turned out it had an IP address of .39. Identified that it was running firmware version 1.4.0.18, while my router and visibly connected satellite were running 2.0.0.74. Applied the firmware update manually through the satellite HTTP site and now it's showing up in orbilogin.net!
So, bottom line, it appears that after the v2.0 firmware update, satellites still running v1.x will connect, but not show as attached in orbilogin.net. Hopefully this will be fixed in a later update, but until then hope this helps someone else out.
