One satellite not relaying guest wifi network (RBR850/RBS850)
Hi I have a RBR850 orbi router, with two RBS850 satellites connected via a wired connection One of the satellites has stopped transmitting the guest wifi network, the other satellite and main...
Definitely something with the switch. I managed to directly connect the satellites to the router and everything magickly works. Is this an oddity with this switch or has anyone seen similar behaviour on other switches?
I know that people hate to hear "Have you tried Unpluging and Plugging it back in?". I mean the Factory Reset. Beleive it or not as far as we have come hardware should always be Factory Reset before and after a FW update. In the old days, last week, it was an imperitive to get everything in its right place and the things that no longer belong gone.
But what I didn't see mentioned was a "Pin-Hole Reset". That's the Granddaddy of all Resets.
Just take an opened paper clip and above the, hopefully Green LED, on the back is a little hole. The "Pin-Hole". Press the paper clip in the hole until you feel it "click" a button. Hold it for about 10-12 seconds unitl the Green light starts flshing and turns Amber. Take it out and let the RBS fully reboot and set it up and see if you have your Guest Network back?
If they did mention this and you've done it. Let me know. There's two more versions of this ritual.
