Orbi CBK40 username password reset help needed from Netgear mod
Unit will not reset to factory settings via reset button. Attempted firmware update via TFTP but it would not load. Previous owner passed away so could not access/change network username and password...
What happens if you disconnect the coax from the back of the CBR40, then press the reset button in back for 15 seconds, leaving your wired PC connected to the CBR40. You don't need internet access to access the setup wizard. Your PC should get a 192.168.1.something address and then you should be able to access the CBR40s web page at 192.168.1.1...
You might try going back to v210 and see. V210 would be in time frame of 2018. Was last one I loaded. I need to check out my CBR40 with this new stuff. :smileyfrustrated:
Ok I contacted Spectrum and they did some kind of a hard reset which kicked the speed up to around 300 mbps. I'm also running CAT8 ethernet cables but the coax is like 15 yrs old so may end up getting that upgraded soon. I haven't tried rolling back the FW but will check back here and report the results when I do. Thanks again!
