RBS850 - cannot connect to management interface, backhaul out of sync (?)
I have an RBK853 kit - 1x RBR850 and 2x RBS850.
I can get to the management interface of the router and satellite-2, but my satellite-1 I can't. I've tried resetting satellite-1 (via the paperclip button), resyncing it, switching between wired and wireless backhaul (resyncing each time), and nothing works. No devices will connect to satellite-1 either. I can get ping responses from satellite-1, but that's it. Sometimes I get a solid blue light after power cycling it, but it's still playing dead.
Firmware on the router and satellite-2 is 4.6.3.16. satellite-1 can't even report it's firmware.
Is there a special "recovery" method I can use to connect directly to the satellite that's not working?

OK, so solved by persistence but I'm not sure why or what was going on.
To answer your questions, first - was showing as a connected device with backhaul status out of sync when ethernet connected behind the RBR. The LED would blink white while booting, then turn solid blue for a few minutes, and then turn off (expected LED behavior for a working device, right?).
After 2 hours of power cycling and factory resets on the satellite it finally went through the same LED behavior and then showed up with backhaul status = good. And now I can connect to it's management interface to load up new firmware.
25th time is the charm, I guess? That's a weird one. Main thing that changed this successful boot is that it pulled a new IP address from the RBR.

Ya i notice this same issue last night on my 7 series. Had synced prior to updating FW then after the RBS would not connect. I found that IF I removed the RBS using the Disconnect button on the RBRs web page. The RBS would connect. Seemed to take a while though and ya, saw the out of sync then finally turned GOOD. Later on I factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch as mine was seeing a problem with not all devices were seen on the RBR. Reset and setup from scratch fixed all that. So system is up and running fully.
