Orbi Router RBR750 and Satellite RBS350 - Satellites Constantly Rebooting
I tried to update the firmware for the router, and was successfully able to do so to 4.6.8.5. However, when I tried to update the satellites, the webpage asked for a username and password.So, the sa...
My own preference for updating satellites is to access the satellite web page directly from a web browser using the IP address of the satellite (which I learn from the router Attached Devices page). That web page will do the same as the router web administration: ask for the router user name (always "admin") and the router password. This is normal.
Also, one frustrating feature of the Orbi web administration is that it frequently asks the user to re-authenticate. When I have the Attached Devices display open and have also opened other windows in my browser (such as to type in a response to a forum question), the *&%^ router will pop up that authentication page while I am typing and all of a sudden "admin" disappears and I am typing into that stupid box. Have to backspace, type in "admin" again, and press enter.
