I have a RBR750 router and two RBS750 satellites

I am having all the same issues described in this post.  I have a RBR750 router and two RBS750 satellites.  Everything was working fine for a long time, but I was away and when I returned, the satellites were not connected.  As described in this post, the satellites do synch, LED turns blue on the satellites and if I wire connect to the satellite, I get internet.  But, the satellites do not appear on the orbilogin.com or the app.  

The router is using firmware v4.6.5.14, but I don't know the firmware of the satellites.

In troubleshooting, I have already rebooted and reset the router and satellites.  Also, the router and satellites are in close proximity in the same room for this troubleshooting.

What was the successful resolution for this post?  How do I update the firmware, if needed, on the satellites if they do not appear on orbilogin.com or the app?

Thanks,

    Was the system previously using v.4.6.8.2 FW before?

     

    Can you ethernet connect one of the RBS to the back of the RBR and see if it appears in the RBRs web page?

      Unfortunately, I do not know the prior firmware of the router.

      Similar to this prior thread, I tried connecting the router and satellite via network wire, but for me, I could not see the satellites on orbilogin.com or app.

      Also, it seems that, while I can connect with a network wire to the satellite and get internet, the satellites are not functioning as true satellites and broadcasting wifi.  I put the satellites back into their locations but the the wifi devices nearby (smart speaker, etc) are still not connecting to the satellites via wifi.

        Only suggestion would be to update the RBR to v.2 and see if the RBR will resync fully or appear in the RBRs web page enough to access there web pages. 

        Might need to contact a forum moderator for additional help on this one.
