Satellite won't connect after router firmware upgrade

After some help. My satellite uint (rbs50) will not connect to my main unit (rbr50) after I stupidly upgraded the router firmware.

Any idea how I can fix this?

First try restarting the satellite. If that doesn't work then just do a factory reset of the whole system and the main unit should find the satellite if it's close enough.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I tried restarting (several times!) and resetting the Satellite no joy. Was just gearing up to reset the whole lot this morning, plugged it all in and low-and behold the damn this just connected! There's 3 hours of my life i'll never get back. 

 

Thanks for your respone though.

Glad it finally connected for you. It should now stay connected so it should be okay. Good luck.
