RBR50 bricked, flashed and now behaves strangely
Hi. A few days ago my RBS50 wasn't connecting to the router. The ring light was turning on and off white. Factory reset wasn't working (pin turned the power led red).
Investigating a bit I got to the conclusion the firmware was broken.
Flashed it with TFTP and did a factory reset (pin turns orange then blinks orange).
now when I power it on first the ring turns on and of white for about 30 seconds, then starts pulsating white. after a while the ring turns solid blue for about a minute, then solid magenta for about a minute then orange for an instant, then green for an instant and it starts again white on and of, then pulsating white and so on repeating the cicle.
I tried TFTP with an older firmware, same result.
Current firmware V2.7.4.24
Is there anything I can try before giving up?
Thanks!!!
