RBR750 Shows Offline After FW Update
I just updated the FW on my RBR750, and now I am unable to access the orbi via the app, or by IP (192.168.5.1). I have deleted and re-installed and logged back into the app, still unable to conne...
- NG must have pushed the update to me. I can now access everything via the browser. App just spins when I put in the password in and I assume times out, but I may need to delete and reinstall. But that will be a tomorrow project.
Just excited that I got a win!
I can ping 192.168.5.1 and get a reply, If I ping 192.168.1.1 all packets drop, which makes my semi-educated self think that the orbi retained the IP information.
I want to be able to access the router, as I have the parental controls (paid subscription) set-up and actively monitoring specific devices etc. W/o being able to either 1) access via the app, or 2) access via IP that is useless to me.
I understand what you are saying about a reset, in my mind it made sense, but after reading what you stated it makes more sense that is not a logical solution.
So where does that leave me?
My suggestion is don't panic. Give it a day to what Netgear comes up with.
- That’s funny. Netgear better come up with something or they will face a class action- people don’t like throwing $1k down the toilet.
I modified my review on Amazon to not recommended and 1 star. Can you imagine getting it delivered and setting it up. Then it does a firmware update and it bricks!
