Satellite failed latest update
My satellite failed latest autoupdate and the device is now blinking red power led. What to do?
Hello Furry, thank you the reply.
I tried Tftp method using windows cmd and. Tftp64 software. Both method failed.
But i successfully recovered the satellite by using Nmrflash utility. I used latest V.31 to recover. My satellite now connected to router and network. My home devices are connecting to this satellite. However the version showing is still V.21. From Orbi app and web console. I checked for update and shows no new update. My other device at v.31 and this one is still on v.21. Why is it like this? I am afraid to manually update. If the firmware again corrupted, ?

If you can get to the RBS that has v.21 on it and access it web page, then manually update to v.31 by downloading the RBS FW file and sending the .CHK file to the RBS web page.
Are you suggesting this method or other.?
1. Connect this satellite to laptop via LAN and access the satellite console page using its IP and upload the firmware?
or
2. Connect to router via LAN cable and using router console page and update this satellite alone manually.
Another doubt, why my the router is not showing update for this satellite which checking using orbi app or web console.?
If you can try option 1 first.
- Updated the satellite using 1st method. The update went 100% but now the white light on the front is flashing and the power light led flashing in red. What to do?
