Web UI says RBW30 Update Failed, but there is no update available.
I have a system with an RBR50, 2 RBS50s, and 1 RBW30. When I use the router Web UI to check for firmware updates, it first attempts to download new firmware for the RBW30 and then says "Update Faile...

Exact same configuration and issue with the RBW30 Update Failed here. I was able to update my RBR50 and RBS50 by unplugging my RBW30, but has there been a resolution to the Update Failed issue on that satellite yet? Or, is Firmware 2.5.0.4 for the RBW30 the latest, therefore nothing to fix? Thanks!

Update still fails when I try to perform an automatic update through the router UI. Can you please remind me of the method to update the RBW30 manually, if that is what you are saying we need to do?
Thank you.

Do you have access to the RBWs web page? Look for the IP address on the RBRs connected devices page. Use the IP address given to the RBW to access it's web page. Log in will be same as RBR.

good thought, except the RBW30 does not accept the password I use to gain access to my RBR50. I even try the default password, and no joy. One hurdle after another. Any thoughts on how to reset the RBW30 password or why it does not accept the password from my RBR50?
Thanks!

The file type that is included in that zip file is a .chk file. The update option in the GUI wants a .img file.
