RBS750 Satellite Flashing White - Need to manually update firmware
System: (1) RBR750 (2) RBS750's. Both the RBR and the other RBS 4.6.5.14. The RBS in question had blank firmware fields in the app. My RBS750 Satelittle has been blinking white for some time now....
You need to update the RBS before updating the RBR. Keep this in mind for future updates.
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite📡. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite📡. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites 📡 web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites 📡 to the RBR.
Thank you for the reply. Just be clear:
1. Download latest FW zip file.
2. Turn off Wifi on laptop and connect ethernet cable to back of RBS in question.
3. Press and hold the reset button with a paperclip until power LED blinks amber. (HOW LONG TO PRESS AND HOLD)?
4. Wait 5 minutes.
5. Try and log into 192.168.1.250 via google chrome.
6. Login vs admin and password
7. Use FW update webpage to extract FW zip file.

3. Press and hold the reset button with a paperclip until power LED blinks amber. (HOW LONG TO PRESS AND HOLD)? 15 seconds. You might turn OFF the RBR to make sure the RBS doesnt' try to reconnect to the RBR.

7. Use FW update webpage to extract FW zip file. No, use the FW udpate page to send the .chk file to the RBS.
