RBS750 stuck in loop and can’t find static IP
Please help me. I’ve been working on this for 3 days now and I absolutely need this extra satellite. The other issue is I’m in Bangkok Thailand (I’m American, bought the unit from Costco in the US- out of warrantee so no service from NG)
So my RBS750 satellite bricked randomly. I’ve done searches and tried doing everything I could find, up to doing a TPFT forced firmware Ethernet.
However, I’ve got 2 problems that I presume to be preventing a successful TPFT upload.
A) It appears that the Ethernet connection to my laptop doesn’t stick. It looks like the satellite is stuck in a loop of booting up and turning off to restart every 45-60 seconds. The status light flashes white, the green light in the back goes on then out, to a brief red light before going green again.
B) the second issue is I can’t tell if I have the correct static IP for the satellite.
I’ve tried 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.25, and 192.168.1.25 as these are the various addresses I’ve found in my search.
Thanks so much in advance.

Re: RBS750 stuck in loop and can’t find static IP
Be sure your setting a static IP address on the laptops network adapter configuration to same subnet for the RBS.

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:
