Firmware 2.2.1.210 and connection problems Skybell
Yesterday I manually updated the firmware (2.1.4.16) of my Orbi RBR50 and RBS50 to 2.2.1.210. All devices quickly connected except for my Skybell Trim Plus doorbell. So I reset the router and satelit...
Thank you all for your imput/help. It took a lot of time and frustration but my Skybell is online now for almost 2 days.
So I filled in:
1. My password
2. Ip address (It sounds like the directions are saying to put in 10.0.0.201 is this correct?
3. Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
4. Gateway I'm not sure what to put based on the directions
5. Dns 8.8.8.8
My main questions are on point 2 and 4 what do I fill in... You wrote 8.8.8.8 but that's for the DNS not gateway or am I misunderstanding?

These setting are found and used in setup on the skybell app.

private message me and I can walk anyone through how to get it working. IP address varies per network.
This solution works but unfortunately, every time my router reboots, I have to manually reconnect the Skybell HD including deleting the device, factory reset, etc. Anyone figure out how to have it connect automatically again or is this up to Netgear or Skybell?
Have you tried setting a static IP address ON the skybell device?

- Yes, I reserved it through the admin screen. I’m not sure if my IP address for the satellite changes when there is a reboot. Can I reserve an ip for the satellite?
You can reserve an IP address for the satellite under Advanced Tab/Setup/Lan. Add a reservation here for the satellite.
