an RBS850 satellite has specific password
I am facing a strange issue, One of my two RBS850 satellites, properly connected to the RBR850, has a misaligned consolde password: it is still based on default "admin/password" (not admin/admin) ...
What does the status for the RBS say on the RBRs web page? If it says Out Of Sync, then this maybe one reason why the RBS PW hasn't changed to same as the RBR.
When you re-synced the RBS, did you try in same room as the RBR when you pressed the sync button on the RBS and RBR?
the backhaul status appears as "good".
However, in the graphical representation on the IOS app the link between the satellite and the router is now a dotted line. But for the rest it works find (except for the fact that its console password is unaligned).
Such dotted line seems to be normal and reflecting à WIFI connectivity (versus Ethernet for a plaint line) according to https://kb.netgear.com/000061800/What-do-the-lines-and-colors-in-the-Orbi-Network-Map-mean
however imho it was always a plain line in the past. Strange.
Yes, if the RBS IS connected via wireless backhaul to the RBR, dotted line should be seen. Solid line should be seen if its ethernet connected to the RBR. If the RBS is ethernet connected and your seeing dotted lines, there maybe a problem between the RBR and RBS if this happens. Items like Cables, LAN Jacks and LAN switches would been to be checked.
