RBR750 in AP Mode questions
I picked up an RBR750 with 2 satellites. The initial setup was painful but got it setup how I wanted after a day of trying. When I set the router up in AP mode I used a fixed IP address. On the landing page it shows internet good. However when I go to the firmware page and check firmware it comes back with no internet. Why is that? Also it appear you can not change the IP address after setup. Is that correct?

Hi.
In order to change the IP config after an inital AP setup one has to re-run the wizard process and choose DHCP vs static IP, pick the NetBIOS name, etc.
In your initial static IP address config is the gateway IP address the same as the AP IP address or your router IP address?
Thanks,
S.
"is the gateway IP address the same as the AP IP address or your router IP address?" Answer is no.. My router is set to .254. I learned long ago not to use .1 since many routers default to .1 at initial setup.
How do I re-run the wizard, do I need to do a factory reset?
I use an RBR850 but Ibelieve the GUI is the same. No need for factory reset just re do the wizard which can be found by looking at the screen shot below:
