- They satellites go white pulsing then one goes purple, the other doesn’t do anything g and they are within 1mtr of the router
What Firmware version is currently loaded on the RBR and RBS? THis a new RBS being added? If so, FW maybe out of sync with the RBR. The RBS may need to be manually updated to same version as RBR.

- How would I make sure they are all on the same system if I can’t get them to sink.
ThanksWhat you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR
- Will the router need to be connected to the internet or just powered up ?
Thank you
