RBR750 Shows Offline After FW Update

With the reset button still held down, turn the power back on and hold for another 30 seconds.
I basically came to this same conclusion of hard resetting the device after the last software update and redoing my SSID setup up.

Yes - I could fix it, but needed to be onsite to go through the steps….
