an RBS850 satellite has specific password
I am facing a strange issue, One of my two RBS850 satellites, properly connected to the RBR850, has a misaligned consolde password: it is still based on default "admin/password" (not admin/admin) ...
What firmware is on the satellites and the router?
Have you tried a simple factory reset and reinstall?
Maybe the re-sync will update the password info.
THey are properly aligned on the last official firmware: V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
I am not willing to do a factory reset of the router due to a rather complex configuration that would be tedious and disruptive to redo.
I may however try to remove/resync the satellite itself, as some have report this as resolving such disync issue. Alternatively, I could keep it as such as everything seems to work for the rest ...hoping the next firmware update (apparentely on its way) would resolve it.sorry, didn't mean a factory reset of router, just the satellite.
I'd try that first.
I didn't try yet but took note of the recommended solution to "turn-off atellite, remove satellite from admin console of router, then re-add satellite)
I will confirm if it works when i find the time to test the procedure
