outdoor satellite
hi - just purchased the RBK752 and I know that the RBS50Y has to be set up in Extender Mode - here is my question - When I go outdoors after the set up, will the satellite seamlessly carry the wifi s...
i know this sounds like a circular discussion but i am not a tech savvy person. if the RBR40 is not connected to the modem, how can i log into the RBR40 to get to find the IP address for the RBS50Y? I attempted to log on through Orbilogin.net and put in the serial number for the RBR40 but it was not recognized - probably becuase I have the RBR750 up and running.

hardwire a pc/laptop into the rbr40 and disable its wireless. that'll ensure its only connected to the RBR40
thank you. That makes perfect sense to hardware the RBR40 - once it is hardwired, and asuuming i get a hold of the IP address for the RBS50Y - how do i go about changing the firmware from from the latest to the extender firmware?
That's the hard part. It has to be in extender mode to load the extender firmware.
thats why I wanted you to check the hidden info to see if there was even the extender firmware on the other partition.
I will hard wire the RBR40 to the laptop to see if i can discover the IP address for the RBS50Y - if i cannot, i will switch out the router and go through the Orbilogin to check there. I know i uploaded the most current firmware and I will probably have to reload the extender firmware. do you think that's possible?
