Re: RBR850 not connecting RBS750 Satellite after switching to AP Mode

I purchased my RBR850 with 2 satellites and they work great. I purchased RBS750 for my son's room and worked great until yesterday. My RBR850 router function drops the connection from the internet every 2-3 days and needed to be restarted accordingly. I replaced my router and put thr RBR850 into AP mode. The RBS750 has been synching wirelessly but now will not. I have even tried to move it about 3 feet and also have connected via wired backhaul. I have done a factory reset and the 30-30-30 reset. I am having no luck. Can anyone assist? All my other satellites are wired and work fine. Thanks

SOLVED:
After updating all, I started reading a little more. I saw folks using a pfSense router which I was as well. One common denominator was making sure even though this was in AP mode, I still had to hook the WAN line from pfSense to the RBR850. Once I did this, I rebooted the RBR850 and was able to connect the RBS750 both wired and wirelessly.

Need to check to make sure the RBS750 is on same version of FW.
Can you connect the RBS750 to the back of the RBRs LAN port using a LAN cable to see if it connects?
Turn OFF the other RBS's while working with the 750 RBS.

If you ethernet connect the RBS to the back of the RBR, see if the the RBS gets a IP address from the RBR. If it does, try to log into the RBS web page using it's IP address in a web browser, log in maybe admin and >password< if it doesn't fully sync to the RBR.

I'd probably update the RBS750 first to:
The update the RBS850s:
Then update the RBR850 lastly.

Re: RBR850 not connecting RBS750 Satellite after switching to AP Mode
All has been updated. I have tried to add the RBS750 both wired and wireless and it fails. I have also did the 30-30-30 reset on the RBS750 prior to adding it. Failed. Please advise and thank you.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
