SXS80 firmware update
Had or I pro mesh for 3 or 4 years sxr30 router and two Sxs30 satellites. All working fine and firmware up to date. Wanted to extend the mesh to garage - couldn’t find another sxs30 anywhere but have found a sxs80 which I installed yesterday. It has paired okay but I cannot update the firmware- routerand sxs30 satellites on 4.3.4.200 and sxs80 on 3.1.1.102.
Firmware update on sxs80 fails and cannot do manual update as web address unreachable. Trying to log into sxs80 web page directly and cannot access as SLS /certificate error - tried wrangling edge and chrome security settings to allow “ unsafe” site but no go
can ping okay and https port is open
any ideas?

You can try factory resetting it. Prior to re-syncing it with the system, try connecting to it and manually updating the firmware that route. But you might not want to do that. The reason why, is that the SXR30 (if thats your base router), wasn't compatible with that satellite .

So if you have it working, it might be better to just be happy it works. I'd be worried upgrading the firmware would break that. If you have the SXR80 router, then I wouldn't be worried.
