Cannot update device names/types
My system consists of 1 RBR50 and two RBS50 satellites running in AP mode behind a router with DHCP server. Ever since I performed the firmware update to 2.3.5.30 (although I'm not 100% sure if it's...
That's more or less exactly what I did. I didn't reconnect them in the same room wirelessly, but in good proximity. The connection is good. I have IP reservations for both satellites, but since I cannot ping the second one, I changed the reservation for that one to a different IP to see what happens. As I said, the router web page now shows both satellites well connected with the right data and IP numbers but I cannot ping the second one anymore, nor can I get to its web page, of course.
By the way, I did not remove the first satellite by clicking the remove button on the router web page before I reconnected it. I only did it before reconnecting the second one. Could that be a reason? Although, the first one works as expected.
Looks like I have to factory reset everything now...

Don't worry about that problem anymore. I just switched off the second satellite, changed its DHCP binding to another IP number again and then had the satellite restart... after some white flashing the ring turned blue and then after several minutes it turned off. Checked the ping and it was working. Could log in to the satellite's web page as well. So, at least I'm back to where I was. Now I'm waiting for an update for the FW to solve the naming issue...
