Remote reboot RBR750
I have an RBR750 and an RBS750 At some point this evening, the RBR stopped acting as a wireless AP It still has an IP, and can be pinged - but the web UI returns a code 500 error I'm remo...
Ok.
I managed to get a power cycle done.
The unit came back up, with a new IP address, but is still giving a 500 error.
I can't do any more diagnostics until I am back home, likely in a few days. I haven't instigated a firmware update recently, but it is possible one was applied automatically I suppose some time yesterday....?
The satellite came up fine, and is running V7.2.6.31
The RBR is working in AP mode, not as a router, but that has been the case for months
Might set your host router to give a IP address reservation for the RBR in AP mode so the IP address doesn't change.
v.31 FW has known problems that users have been posting about since it first appeared. We've been recommending users to revert back to v.21 on the RBS and RBR as it's most stable to date FW.
I'll see what I can manage when home
Given the unit exists to some extent - I can ping it, and call the speedtest URL, can I revert the firmware...? Or will I need to reset it completely first?
If you choose to revert FW, first downgrade all RBS first, then the RBR lastly.
You'll need to factory reset the system and setup from scratch and also disable the auto update feature on the RBR so it doesn't re-update back to v.31.
