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." ...
When a satellite connects to the router, the router tells it what the administrative password is.
I read your last reply only after performing the third reset. I performed it by holding the reset button until the LED ring started pulsing yellow. I have also updated the firmware for both the LBR20 and RBW30 to their latest versions.
After the reset, the administrative password is now "password". This is still not the expected outcome, because I am using a custom password for the LBR20, which – as you've explained, the sync is supposed to tell the satellite.
This means that the reset might perform okay, but the sync doesn't.
So, I have been waiting over night to see if that missing sync would complete by itself, but the password for the RBW30 is still "password".
I will now try to add the satellite not via the app but via the LBR20 web page.
Could you tell me how to tell whether a reset completed successfully?
