Satellite issue
I got a refurbished RBR40 converted to a RBS40 satellite and cat5e cable to go with my RBR40 router for house to backyard shop project. I can get the satellite connected to the router--> my app sho...
so I kind of go back to the "i converted an RBR40 to an RBS40". (not really a supported option)
Which requires forcing a firmware it isn't designed to take and then don't know why the wireless on it isn't working.
If you convert it back to an RBR40, does it work? If so, stick that one in the garage hardwired in and run it in AP mode.
Honestly, I bought this not realizing it was a converted satellite. I do not know how to convert it back.
I am thinking I will return it and try and find a legitimate satellite that will work with my RBR40.
Thanks for responding.

If you can return it, I sure would. Sounds like a sketchy situation for someone to sell you a converted device that isn't working.
Take a look on amazon. They had renewed rbk43 kits for pretty darned cheap. That'd get you a backup router plus 2x satellites to use. Its nice to have a backup router when you have a bunch of money tied up in satellites.
