Update went smooth but after 2 days had to shut down satellite because it won't let clients get an IP from DHCP server. RBR and RBS are in AP mode (wired) and were running fine since February 2021. Router is a draytek vigor 3910.

What is the best way to factory reset a RBS?  Found the thread with the procedure regards

 

PS. RBS started also broadcasting ORBI51_HIDDEN network

    Does someone have a clue where the satellite get's the 2.4 SSID name?

     

    Devices are recognized AS 2.4 IoT

     

     

    But 2.4 IoT is disabled on RBR

     

     

    Regards

      That screen shot clearly shows the IoT network enabled on 2.4G and 5G.

        Totally "MY BAD".  Yes, the IoT network shows as disabled

      Try changing the SSID name of the IoT network to RBK850-IoT

       

      Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
      Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
      Turn off and unplug modem.
      Turn off router and computers.
      Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
      Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
      Turn on computers and rest of network.

        Why should i turn off router? Router which doesn't have wifi is scheduled to reboot every monday mornnig at 3 am.

        ISP modems? Do you mean ONT's. I have 3 off them load-balanced on the router

         

        Do you mean to turn off RBR for 2 minutes?
