an RBS850 satellite has specific password
I am facing a strange issue,
One of my two RBS850 satellites, properly connected to the RBR850, has a misaligned consolde password: it is still based on default "admin/password" (not admin/admin) while I have of course a specific password defined at the level of the router.
For the rest the satellite seems to be up and running and fully operational (except for occasional temporary disconnection that I hope the new but still unofficial firmware will resolve - awaiting the official version before trying)
The other satellite does not have such issue btw.

What firmware is on the satellites and the router?
Have you tried a simple factory reset and reinstall?
Maybe the re-sync will update the password info.
THey are properly aligned on the last official firmware: V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
I am not willing to do a factory reset of the router due to a rather complex configuration that would be tedious and disruptive to redo.
I may however try to remove/resync the satellite itself, as some have report this as resolving such disync issue. Alternatively, I could keep it as such as everything seems to work for the rest ...hoping the next firmware update (apparentely on its way) would resolve it.sorry, didn't mean a factory reset of router, just the satellite.
I'd try that first.
I recommend that if you can get access the RBS web pages, update FW on the RBS first, then RBR lastly.
Follow the post instructions after FW has been loaded on the units.
