Re: orbi 750

What FW is loaded on the RBS and RBR? 

 

What does the RBRs web page report the RBS status?

Re: orbi 750

And you have RBS750s? 

 

May need to factory reset the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch.

 

v.31 has issues that users have been posting about, recommend downgrading the system back to v.21 FW:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WIFI-6-AX-AND-Wi-Fi-6E-AXE/New-RBR750-RBS750-Firmware-Version-...

 

For this PDF process to manually downgrade the RBS first, then RBR lastly:

Re: orbi 750

Thanks for the support. What happens if I do nothing . Everything is connected but not showing up. Why should  I be concerned  right now if I cant use the app. No one is having any big issues when connected. Some apps like you tube tv act a little funny but we havent notice speed or connection issue. I am not very technical and I do not want to screw up something so I worry about me manually updating things ? Thoughts ?

Re: orbi 750

2nd replied - I unpluged and disconnected one wired device . It still shows as connected. I think this is frozen. Can I try and remove  1 satellite and reinstall thru the ap ? I am trying to think of things that give you experts more info

Re: orbi 750

Can you take a screen capture of the RBRs connected devices web page. Top portion of the RBS and post it here in this thread?

 

So the ethernet connecte device behind the RBS is working?

Re: orbi 750

And have you powered OFF all RBS and the RBR for 1 minute then powered ON the RBR and let it come to ready, then power ON just one RBS and see if it synces and appears synced in the RBRs web page? I'd give about 10 minutes for this.

Re: orbi 750

power off does that mean unplug the power from the back of 750 r and 750s. ? powered ON the RBR and let it come to ready, ready mean white light solid on the 750r ?  then power ON just one RBS  is that plug back in  and lights ? and see if it synces push the button on the back of rbr and then the same for the rbs  wait for blue light on the rbs ? see if it  appears synced in the RBRs web page? I'd give about 10 minutes for this. is this correct

Re: orbi 750

Yes.

 

No front LED should be OFF for the RBR:

https://kb.netgear.com/31030/What-do-the-LEDs-on-my-Orbi-mean

 

Power on 1 RBS and see if it auto syncs, if not, the try the Add Satellite function seen on the RBRs web page to see if you can get a RBS connected and turn BLUE in front and appears on th RBRs web page.

Re: orbi 750

Thanks so much. I am going to wait till Monday to try it. I do not want to mess with it this weekend as everything is running smooth I looked at 12 devices and they are all connected but not in the app  This weekend  I have had 2 sat turn blue .1 yesterday and 1 today. I used the sync button on the router and the satellite and after 3 or 4 minutes they went blue and then off .  I think they are all connected  but just not getting into the app. This bring me back to my original question. What is the risk of the App being wrong but everything is connected. What is my risk ?

Re: orbi 750

And they still don't show being connected in both RBR web page and Orbi app? 

You can submit a bug report thru Orbi app here if you want too:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/How-to-report-a-bug-on-the-Orbi-App/td-p/2140980/jump-to/f...

 

Still need to see what FW is loaded on the RBS. 

Also need to factory reset and setup from scratch to see if this clears this aswell or if you can get the RBS and RBR back to v.21 FW.

Re: orbi 750

So Restting the system and setting back up from scratch using the Orbi app got it working? 

So what FW version is on the RBR AND RBS?
