RBK963 6.3.1.21
Any update in relation to this FW? if it was installed, do we need to downgrade? WHy was it pulled?
Ok. Glad ethernet worked. It should have. Unless the FW is way off or the RBS are in some bad condition.
Will keep asking about bringing the RBS self web page services back. It was available on the 8 series early on but someone decided to take it away. Would have been nice to have it here.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Since I rebooted the router I can not get the satellites to connect. How do I download the firmware to .85? Do I have to connect the laptop to each satellite?
I would downgrade the RBR back to v.85 as I presume the RBS are still at v.85?
No they are all at 631. It was working fine for a week until I rebooted the main router. Now satellites can't connect
If you connect the RBS to the back of the RBR using a ethernet cable do they appear on the RBRs web page then?
Didnt try that as they are in different rooms and they are fixed with screw on the shelf. It would be easier to connect a laptop and downgrade. Will this work?
I would bring one of the RBS to the same room as the RBR and connect it via ethernet. Give it 3-4 minutes...
Unfortunately the RBS dont' have a self service web page.
Think I upgraded the firmware on the RBS by going into their console using the IP address showing on Orbi App. There was a limited console available
Telnet?
No just https://orbi satellite IP
See if you can get in. I would presume if the RBS isn't synced that the RBS web page won't be accessible via IP address...
Didnt work either with the cable, the satellites were still showing up as disconnected and no IP. Went into the Orbi APP and was showing 0 satellites, but when clicking on network map their were showing in red and disconnected. However their IP was in the details and I was able to access the IP and downgrade satellite first and then main router

You connected a cable directly to the satellite and entered the satellite IP address into the web browser?
or
You were somewhere else on the network and entered the satellite IP into the web browser?
So you go the system downgraded to v.85?

No I connected the router to the satellite via cable and then connected to the satellite IP as in the network map it was still showing as disconnected.
Yes downgraded all to .85
