RBS750 won't connect after firmware update

I have a CBR750 and RBS750 which I purchased as a set.  I got notified that the RBS750 had a firmware update.  I believe it was running 4.6.5.14 which was quite a bit older than the 4.6.11.1 which I ...

    A bit of lucky searching found my problem.  Since I have a CBR750/RBS750 combo I should not be using the RBS750 firmware updates found on that page.  I need to use the CBK752 page and it's firmwares (Which were correct before).  After putting the correct RBS750 firmware for my set on the box, everything started working again.  Sorry to waste everyone's time.

How were you able to revert to correct firmware?

I did the same thing, made the mistake of downloading a newer version of the RBS750 firmware and upgrading my satellite that is part of my CBK750.  I wish I had found this forum before doing the upgrade but that is all to common an occurrence; you don't know there is a problem until you experience the problem.

 

Now my status is, my RBS750 seems to connect to the network, however, I am unable to see it when viewing connected devices in my CBR750.  I would happily downgrade to the proper, supported, firmware version 4.6.5.14 if I only could find how to connect to the RBS750 to perform this firmware change.

 

Oddly, I can connect an Ethernet cable from my laptop directly to the RBS750 and I have full Internet access, but no way to actually get to the satellite web interface to perform the firmware downgrade.  There is also no IP address assignment I can find on the CBR750 which I could suspect is for the RBS750.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Use an ip scanner to get the ip of the satellite. I think I used angry ip scanner. Once you have that you can log into it and put the correct firmware on it.

    Please disregards my previous post. 

     

    Shortly after posting I was able to track down the IP assignment for my RBS750.  I connected to the Web UI and was able to revert back to  firmware v4.6.5.14 and now it is once again showing as connected in the CBR750 web UI.  All is good.
