I have tried Adding Satellite through the web browser as well. No luck.
I now have the RBS50 ring LED flashing White now! I have no idea why the ring LED flashing Green before. The instructions in the web App say that the ring LED should be solid White. Not sure how to get it to that state.

So I went through multiple attempts of reseting the RBS50. Got the unit to flash white, and then using the web based interface added the Satellite once again. Worked! I am now able to see the satellite in the iphone App, as well as through the web browser.
Disconnected the power and moved the RBS50 to where it can provide coverage for the rest of the house. Connected it to power, and it continues to work.
Can't tell you what I did that was different the last time tp get it to work ! All I can say is keep on trying to reset the RBS50 unit and use the web interface to add the satellite.

What Firmware version is currently loaded on the RBR and RBS. They need to be the same version or will not work right.
