Possible bricked Satellites after downgrading from v4.6.7.5 to v 4.6.3.16
Hello, Since upgrading to the experimental firmware here, I've had a lot of issues with high latency and packet loss on my WAN (ping times jump to over 17 seconds for the next hop for 1-2 seconds ...
I have the same thing happening with a downgrade! I cannot do a factory reset on my satalite. Is it same procedure with the TFTP program RBS? Which port is port 1? Because it looks like I cannot factory reset my RBS, the ip address is .42 instead of .1 but I tired both. What firmware were you able to bring it back up with?
I used v. 4.6.3.16... saved a copy for the RBS on my laptop, plugged it in via an Ethernet cable to my laptop only, not the RBR and was able to get satellite to come back (blue ring after pulsing white) following the instructions to the letter. Did it 5 or so times without issue.
Hi KMDonlon ! What program and programming device did you use? I'm trying to use nmrplfash, but it appears there's a bug when interacting with OSX 12.2.

If that's what you used successfully, I'll boot into my Windows Boot camp and give it a shot from there.
Does nmrpflash work with the working RBS if you just connect the RBS up to the mac?
I don't know if this is a nmrpflash issue or the RBS are not in a good state thus the app is not able to connect properly.
Try a OSX version prior if possible?

KMDonlon Do you have a link to the instructions you followed? Is this what you're referring to?

FURRYe38 I haven't tried to use it on my working RBS. Honestly I don't want to touch it. If I lose the only working satellite, my wife won't be able to work because we don't have enough wireless coverage to reach her office from the main router.
