Cannot update firmware on one Orbi sattelite
I just bought an Orbi RBK753 (RBR750 + two RBS750 satellites), along with a separate third RBS750. It took several tries but I finally was able to connect the third satellite to the router. At leas...
Have you tried using the default login info?
login: admin

If that doesn't work, you can always use tftp/nmrpflash to try to force the update to it.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

Logging in with admin:password did the trick. That let me upgrade the firmware manually (online firmware upgrade still didn't work). Then I did another factory reset on the misbehaving satellite, wired it to the router, and resync'd them. It took a couple of tries, but it eventually did sync and now all satellites are on the latest firmware, properly sync'd, and router password shared. So I think I'm all good! Thanks for the help.
