RBW30 satellite: Manual update fails
The instructions to manually update the firmware of an Orbi satellite fail at step 5: "If the browser asks you for the admin password, enter the same password you entered for the Orbi router." ...
The RBW30 is connected to an Orbi LBR20. The connection was established using the Orbi app. I have to say though that feedback from the app was odd. The process finished with the info that a satellite could not be found. But once I returned to the main screen, the satellite was shown, in the network map as well. The exact same experience I had when repeating the sync after the reset of the RBW30.
Also, contrary to the Quick Start Guide, the LED ring pulses white and never ceases to pulse white. Nevertheless, the sync completes.
So try resetting the RBW and add the RBW using the LBRs web page Add Satellite web ui feature in a web browser.
Wondering if the RBW is syncing but not syncing fully and not getting the log in creds from the LBR like it should be.
