Satellite refuses to connect to router
Hello there, I had a router+satellite system paried and working fine. I had to turn off my satellite as I needed to use that plugpoint. When i started it again, the satellite refuses to connect a...
The satellite could be on a different firmware version from the router can you try to connect a ethernet cord directly to the satellite and try to connect to it using 192.168.1.250 and then if you can log in do a manual update of the firmware.

Same issue here. Connected satellite through the ethernet cable to PC. I can ping the satellite using command prompt and I do get back a response. But when I try accessing the satellite using 192.168.1.251, I get connection refused.
At this point, I am inclined to dump this PoS back at Costco and pick up Velop. Making satellite connect to router -- irrespective of different firmware should not be this complicated and hard.
is the 192.168.1.251 the Ip you are using to ping that unit?
