How To Update Sat FW BEFORE Adding
I have an RBRE +2 RBSE Satellites. I'm trying to add a third RBSE satellite with no luck. I can't find any information on how to make sure its firmware is up to date without it already being part of ...
This technique appears to provide access to an RBSE satellite:
Disconnect do a Factory Reset on the satellite (using that tiny 'rest' hole)
Disconnect a computer/laptop with an Ethernet port from everything else. (not wired to anything. no active WiFi)
Configure the Ethernet adapter to a Static IP in the IP subnet 192.168.1.x (anything except 192.168.1.250). Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Connect the computer/laptop to a LAN port on the satellite.
Open a web browser and open the web site 192.168.1.250.
The satellite web interface should appear and display the current firmware release.
(if credentials are requested, they should be "admin" and "password")
Please post if this works for you.
