Problem with adding satellite

[Nyflgirl]

I have my Ac3000 set up and working. I wanted at add a 2nd satellite so I got a rbs40. I have it all hooked up and it’s showing both satellites online, however if the rbs40 is plugged in and you are near it, you can’t connect to the wifi. When I unplug the satellite I can access the web. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password.

Can you get logged in and see the FW version here?

What is indicating the RBS40 satellite is on-line?

• The Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net), or
• The Orbi "app"?

The orbi app is showing it online. If I plug in the satellite I lose internet, my phine shows the internet but I can not go online. if I unplug it the internet is available again.

The orbi app

I can’t see if it would be connected via Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net), When I plug it in, and try to interface, nothing happens. It won’t connect to the orbi router. It seems like the satellite blocks the wifi connection for anyone near it.

What FW version is loaded on the 50 series system? Possible the FW is newer than whats on the 40 series RBS which probably needs to be updated...

[Nyflgirl]

I was able to log into the interface, went to software update and the update for the rbs40 failed. Everything else is already updated.

[Nyflgirl]

So the automatic update failed, I tried the manual update as the satellite has version V1.11.0.20

On net gear website and download the firmware update, when I click upload I get a error message that says “the firmware file is incorrect” I tried the latest firmware, the same version it has and one up from what it has, they all say the file is incorrect.

My rbs50 is on V2.5.2.4

I just realized the new satellite I got says orbi mini rbs40? I can’t find a firmware update for it anywhere.

[Nyflgirl]

I log in with admin and password on the bottom of the satellite and I get 401 unauthorized, access denied..has no supplied correct. I tried multiple times, same error

[Nyflgirl]

I’m in , version V1.11.20

[Nyflgirl]

I selected the update, used the newest firmware I down loaded and it updated!!!

THANK YOU
