Followed the directions and upgraded. Did the RBS750 units first and then the RBR750. Appears to be working well.
One important note, I did need to restart each RBS750 after the RBR750 was upgraded to re-establish connection. As each is on a UPS and mounted on the all, required a ladder.
Otherwise working fine at this time.
I didn't see the "IoT" network feature at first. You need to go into Wireless setup. You'll then see a "Wireless IoT Settings' and the ability to "enable" an IoT wireless SSID along with password.
Nice to have this feature added finally. I believe it's important to have a Trusted, IoT and Guest wireless SSID.
Want to update to 7.2.6.21 but have a few questions:
1) Does this firmware update solve the "random blue light on the Sat" issue? (Since 4.6.14.3_2.3.12, I've had the blue light illuminate on the sats for no reason with no degradation in my system so it is merely annoying versus detrimental.)
2) Is it still recommended to set IP reservations to 192.168.x.1xx?
3) Any other problems noted so far?
Thanks!
I had not experienced random LEDs on my 7 series on v4 FW versions.
Nobody mentioned in in beta testing.
Do you mean IP address range? Sure.
After applying the FW files the RBS first and RBR lastly and the system is back to ready, I recommend a power OFF of the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back on with the RBR first then RBS lastly.
Got it. Do the sats need to be in the IP address range of 192.168.x.100-200 as well?
Yes.
Since we cant set static addressing on the RBS themselves.
