RBS750 Firmware Won't Upgrade
Hello. I picked up an additional Orbi satellite second hand, an RBS750 to go with my RBR750 and an existing satellite. Needed to extend coverage in the house. The satellite is stuck on firmware V...
Has anyone had any similar issues,
swong65 did, as did MahoneyR did. Details are here:
Unfortunately no resolution is in that discussion thread.
VERY strange. v4.6.14.93 does not appear in the list of "previous versions", but it does appear in the GPL code web site:
Agreed. It's not in the KB repository either (unlike 4.16.4.3, etc)
Also the sku is rather odd (RBR750-1STSQS). There's a couple of other variants nearby with odd extensions (-1RDQAS) and different firmware from the main branch.
I am wondering if they were built for a specific ISP? If so, the firmware might not be upgradable.
That’s an interesting hypothesis and to add additional context, I suspect the router and satellites I can’t upgrade were probably ones that came with my plan from Singtel (the Singapore phone company/ISP) while I also have an additional satellite I purchased separately. Maybe that’s the one I have that did allow a firmware upgrade. (Hard for me to know which was which after the fact.)
I gave up in the end as they became increasingly unstable and bought a new setup.
