Try a full on factory reset on the RBR and RBS using this process?
What FW version is loaded on the system?
Had a FW update been performed recently? RBS need to be updated first then the RBR lastly.

- Tried the sync buttons
- Reset the satellite using the hole on the back. Turned orange, then back to flashing white (it is still showing in the app afterwards but I can't find a way to remove it.
- Checked firmware - It is out of sync with the RBR350 router, so that's probably an issue and I need to manually update firmware.
- Tried to log in using IP address of orbilogin.net and 1.192.168.1.1. to update the firmware, connect to the router directly using CAT6 cable (also tried wireless). I can get a login page using orbilogin.net, but it won't accept the password. I don't recall ever changing it, but admin and password don't work.
- Tried to reset the satellite admin password from a prompt on the browser login screen using the serial number. It tells me the number is incorrect despite multiple correct attempts.
- Tried to reset the router admin password instead, same deal, says the serial number I'm using is incorrect.
I'm now stumped after following all the solutions from previous cases. I tried to reach out to Netgear support, but the only option they give me is to ask the community as the device is more than a year old.
It's frustrating there is absolutely no way to reach Netgear for support, but hopefully someone from their team is checking these posts.
Is there anything else I can do?
