unable to flash router in 960 mesh system

Anyone having this issue with not being able to flash the main router? I was able to flash the satellite's as instructed first, and now no option to update main router. Any advice? 

 

 

  • On the Manual Update page, the router update is "above the line".  Browse to the location of the router firmware file and then upload it.

    Satellites appear "below the line".

    Download the v.31 RBR FW file to your PC, then use the manual tab and after the .zip file is unpacked, send the .chk file to the RBRs web page.

      I tried that and only the 2 satellites appear on the manual update. The main router does not show up on the manual update list as shown on the screenshot I posted.

      It’s strange.

    No idea why not both the satellite and the router firmware was made available for live update, or why the router part might have been revoked.

     

    Find both here RBRE960 / RBSE960 Firmware Version 7.2.6.31 ...
