Re: RBR20 no sync satellite

What FW version do you have on the RBR and the RBW? If you can access the RBWs web page. Possible that the RBWs FW is out of date or out of sync and needs to be updated? Did NG discuss this with you?

Thank you but you are dealing with a MeMe

FW=Firmware

 

Log into the RBRs web page with a PC or laptop wire or wireless connected to the RBR. Navigate to orbilogin.com or 192.168.1.1

 

Yes you'll need to contact NG support for warranty help.

Re: RBR20 no sync satellite

Just read firmware
When I was on phone with technical help. And we were scrolling through advanced stated FW needed to be updated
Asked tech support but each one stated to not bother doing update
That maybe the issue

Re: RBR20 no sync satellite

Yes, the RBWs need to be on same verions of firmware or at least on version behind or ahead. NG needs to help you get the RBW updated. If the RBWs have a LAN port you can try this, download the lastest FW file from NG download site on to the wired PC. 

 

Wire connec the PC to the RBW. Factory reset the RBW and give it 5 minutes. Open a web browser and navigate to 192.168.1.250. If you get to the RBWs web page, then log in with admin and PW is password. YOu can manually send the unpacked FW file to the RBW here. 

If this can't be done, you'll need to contact NG support and have them help you with this.
