RBS750 satellite bricked by firmware V4.6.14.3

Kit recently updated automatically to firmware V4.6.14.3. Router is fine, so is one other satellite. The second satellite just flashes white. Reset makes the satellite go amber for a few seconds and then it reverts back to white flashing. Have attempted to manually update the firmware with Tftpd64 as explained on the Netgear website to no avail. When connected via ethernet to router, the satellite is not detected. Anything else to try? It is still within warranty, so I may need to RMA. Thanks.

    What happens if you factory reset the RBS and connect one wired PC behind the RBS and wiait 3-4 minutes and set a static IP address on the PCs networking adapter for 192.168.10.49. Then try to access the RBS web page at 192.168.10.250. Can you get here at all? If so, try sending the RBS FW File here directly. 

     

    Avoid using NGs Auto update feature. Recommend manually updating FW on RBS first, then RBR lastly using a wired PC and web browser.

      Hi, thanks for the response, unfortunately that didn't work either. I think the bootloader got messed up. It's been RMA'ed now.

       

      Kind Regards,
