New RBS750 not syncing
I have an existing RBK752 system (1 RBR750 and 1 RBS750). I recently bought a new satellite (RBS750) and went through the set-up process but the satellite was not detected. I've tried the sync proces...
Found a solution, here was my process.
- Factory reset the satellite as CrimpOn suggested
- Started the add satelilte flow via the web-ui. Received a "successfully added" message but satellite went to amber and then magenta.
- Connected satellite to router via ethernet, looked up the IP address assigened to the satellite via the web-ui as suggested by Furrye383
- Connected to the IP address detected in step 3. Default admin/password did not work, but when I tried the same user/ password for the router, I could connect to satellite too
- Discovered that the firmware was rather old 3.xx - downloaded the latest 7.6.xx firmware from NG and manually uploaded - ethernet is still connected
- Rebooted with ethernet cable still connected to router - finally a blue flash!
- Disconnected everything and set up the satellites to desired location, rebooted the whole network
- All good!
Thank you everyone for stepping in.
I have tried that. My best guess based on what I have read is that there could be a firmware mismatch. But I have no way to see the firmware on the satellite (tried connecting via an ethernet cable directly computer<>satellite but can't get in via 192.168.1.250).
Doest the RBS get connected via ethernet and get a IP address from the RBR?
Try 192.168.10.250 with the RBS.
