Re: Problem with RBS50 - does not connect to RBR50

Seems like this one RBS is just not working and is faulty. You shouldn't be seeing this behavior on the RBR.

Came back to this after all.

RBS50 and RBR50 both on V2.6.1.40. Getting the RBS50 to connect and finding no joy.

While pairing using the web app and the mobile app I see that the satellite shows up as two separate Orbi Satellites connected to the RBR50 under "Connected Devices".
* One of them shows up as DEV-00:00:00 as a rouetr. Connection Type Unknown. Mac Addr is something like 06:00:00:00:00:00.
* The other one is also DEV-00:00:00 as an Broadcasting AP. Connection Type Unknown. Mac Addr: 0A:00:00:00:00:00

Both have the same IP address

There is no Connected Satellite.

This must be a step during the pairing because the web app very optimistically says that the satellite has paired!

After a while, both these DEV-00:00:00 devices disappear from the list of Connected Devices. No RBS50 is connected.

I have tried to factory reset the RBS50 but to no avail. Same outcome.

Should I give up on this RBS50?

To be quite honest, I could have bought a new RBS50 for the time I have spent on debugging this issue. No more. It will get junked. Cannot get it replaced by Netgear because I bought it used.
