RBS850 CANNOT SYNC WITH ROUTER RBR850
RBS850 CANNOT SYNC WITH ROUTER RBR850 Hi I have a very peculiar problem. I have a RBR850 ROUTER AND 2 RBS850 SATELLITE. WHEN I FIRST SETUP, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PERFECT. ALL OFF A SUDDEN O...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Try this:
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.
