Is FW on the 2nd RBS save version level as the RBR?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

What happens when you connect the 2nd RBS to the RBR using a ethernet cable and give 5 minutes? Do this in same room with the RBR. Turn OFF other RBS.

How long are you pressing the reset button for on the RBS? 15 seconds then release is recommended.

Might try using the GENERATE button, Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings to generate a new back haul password for the RBS after you reset the RBS, then once a new one is generated, use the RBRs Add Satellite function to see if you can fully resync the 2nd RBS to the RBR. Do this in same room with the RBR. Turn OFF other RBS.

If this fails, last resort would be to perform a 30-30-30 reset process on the RBS. This should fully clear out and reset the RBS. Do this in same room with the RBR.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions.

The firmware of the RBR and the working RBS is V7.2.6.21.

I’m unable to check the firmware of the faulty RBS.

I’ve tried multiple times the 30-30-30 reset but to no avail.

I’m gonna try to generate a new backhaul password.

It still is mind boggling to me that this non associated not connected RBS can provide internet access through Ethernet…

Thanks again for your help!
