Hi FURRYe38 after a time somewhat longer than 5 minutes it finally resolved the IP address and I was able to log in, to the admin tool. I discovered that the firmware is the same on both devices.

So I ran the mobile app pairing service which was successful, although the mobile app says it was unsuccessful.

Anyway, through the cable connection I re-opened the admin tool available under a new IP address ( which was assigned to avoid an ISP conflict) and it says the router and satellite are connected and working well.

Thanks for your help FURRYe38

Glad you got in and got it working.

You can pair RBS to RBR with pressing the large black button in back of the RBR then RBS.

After it's all setup and working well, i recommend doing a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. :smileywink:
