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." ...
Isn't it strange that RBW30 added itself back, without me initiating a sync?
Not necessarily. I believe when Netgear created packages consisting of one router and one or more satellites (identified by the letter "K" in the product name - for "Kit") they might have linked them into a system that would sync automatically, which allowed customers to use them "out of the box" without doing any configuration at all.
From looking at WiFi system names (SSIDs) in my neighborhood, it is pretty obvious that many of them have never made any configuration changes to their WiFi routers.
