RBR/RBS 840 Firmware Update Issues
Hello Everyone,
I was doing the manual firmware update to my RBR and RBS 840 items. I have 2 satellites on the system. When doing the manual update the first satellite went fine but the second one I could not get to update. Every time I would try to log in with the admin password, it would just take the entry and the log in window with the user and password would go blank and I would try it again and again. I tried a different browser with no change, I moved the satellite literally into the same room as the router, I rebooted it multiple times, rebooted the router also and no luck.
So I moved forward with updating the router thinking maybe that would help "push" the update, etc. to the one satellite that wouldn't take the update.
I tried doing the update to the satellite again after the router rebooted and still no luck. So now I have the router and 1 satellite on the current firmware but the one lone satellite on the old firmware.
Any ideas on how to push the newest firmware onto lone satellite.
Much appreciated ahead of time for the responses/ideas!
