RBS50v2 satellite with bad firmware
I bought a used RBS50v2 satellite online and when trying to add it to existing network it blinks red and flashes white which indicates bad firmware. How do I download and fix firmware if it will not connect to the network?

Some people have reported success using TFTP or nmrpflash:

The process is sort of technical and can be a challenge.
Thanks for the reply. Is there a Mac-compatible version of the TFTP software?
Try this?
Take you time and follow the guides closely as well as spelling/punctuation as it can make a difference.
I'd also advise trying several times. TFTP can be sensitive to timings and sometimes takes a few tries.

Excellent advice. And you can add to it by trying some fp the videos that take people through the process.
For example:
Different device, same approach.
