What password is it requesting? The WiFi password or the admin password?
Since it started after you added in the RBS50 satellite, have you tried using the password that you originally used on the RBK50 system? You may also want to remove the RBS50 satellite and try again.

Yes, I see the same issue with the app quite often.
When this happens, you just need to close the app (force close it) and open the app again.
I completly closed the app many times and opened the app again but that didn't help. I even removed the app and installed it again and that didn't help either.
I Rebooted the RBR 850 router in different ways, from the desktop GUI and by disconnecting the power but that didn't help.
I disconnected the RBS 50 and that didn't work either.
The only thing left is factory reset which I hate to do like many others in this forum.

How is iPhone NG app after the latest firmware update for people who had problems before. Mine was fine even before the latest update. The problem started after I added an RBS-50.
The phone app showed the correct daisy chain network topography like this:
RBR 850---> RBS 850---> RBS 50.
After a router restart it is asking for a''correct" password for weeks now. I tried everything people suggested except hard factory reset.
