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 satell...

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.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't know what you mean by v2. But, perhaps you are suggesting that I try to revert back to the previous version for the RBR750; V4.6.3.16.
By replying to this thread, I was really hoping to find out if the original poster found a solutions, since the situation seemed the same. Maybe I should start a new post to see if anyone has the answer.

You may try reverting back and see if the RBS connects or try updating to v.2 and see if the RBS will connect wirelessly or wired to the RBR:

I'm the original poster. I never really found a solution. They said that they would push an update to me, but after several days I just gave up and installed a different router. Their solution was that they were going to deliver some sort of patch to me...once received, I was supposed to run a debug or something to distribute it to the system. It was just too much of a headache and not really described correctly to instill confidence.

The quicker way is to factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Also after this, you should update the RBS first then the RBR lastly to v.2 which is available here in the forums.
