RBR750 in AP Mode Satellites won't connect wireless (only wired)

[DrDeaf]

Hi All,

I've been pulling my hair out for the last couple of hours. Here's the thing:

I've switched internet providers.

Previously I had the RBR750 working as a router in my network. Everything worked smoothly.

In the new situation, the new modem/router can't be set to "bridge mode" (not a feature, alas). 

So, no problem I thought, as the RBR can be set to Access Point mode (AP)

Did that, and lost connection with all 3 satellites. Tried to sync, but that didn't work.

reset all. tried again. nothing. RBR750 works, gets new IP from the modem/router. wifi works.

Finally tried the wired backhaul option, that seems to work. But that really restricts where I can put them. I didn't buy them to be wired up (besides power)

Anybody seen similar behaviour? is there a fix?

Thanks!

What firmware is on the router and the satellites? 

I've ran my setup in ap mode in both wired and wireless so just curious.

Hi,

I am running 4.6.5.14.

You?

Going to update them to the one i found posted on this forum, but that version is not posted on netgear support site.

So i'll have to find out if that is going to help.

I believe I have 4.6.7.5 on mine but their not currently connected/running because i'm using a sxk30 right now. 

You can try the newer firmware 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WiFi-6-AX-and-WiFi-6E-AXE/New-RBR750-RBS750-Firmware-Version-v...

make sure you install it to the satellites first and then the router. You might have to hardwire in the satellites to update them.

then do a factory reset/reintall (not from a backup).
