Re: RBS50 satellite firmware corrupted

RBS50 satellite firmware corrupted

HI, I have just bought a new Satelite for my home and it connected once. Then I moved it further from the router, but it didn't connect. Now even if I move it closer the satellite ring flashes white and when I start it, the power button flashes red, then turns green, but the ring light is still flashing white. After looking in the manual, I see that this means the firmware is corrupted. So how do I fix this? Finding tech support on Netgear is impossible. I bought the satellite on Amazon.ca by the way. I'm using a mac if that changes anything on how to do the resetting of the firmware manually is possible.

TIA!

Have you tried to factory reset the unit by holding the reset button for 10+ seconds?

Thanks Daren, I returned my RBS50 after contacting support. I will not buy another one though as after testing, I wanted to put it too far from my RBK50.
