Hooking up RBS350 to RBR750

[TWang1337]

I have an RBR750 + RBS750 

firstly i up RBR750 + RBS750 = v4.6.5.14

I also have an RBS350 which i've tried to hook up (which is supported by RBR750 on 4.6.5.14)

initially RBS350 is v4.4.0.10

then after i added the satellite, it auto updated RBS350 to v4.6.5.14.

this is a bit problematic. lots of drops and out of syncs

I have had alot of problem with RBR750 on 4.6.5.14 so i updated V4.6.7.5_2.1.7

which works well with RBR750 + RBS750

however RBS350 is still v4.6.5.14 and very unstable

Question - is there firmware V4.6.7.5 for RBS350?? one that might fix my problems

Thanks!!

Unless I am wildly mistaken, the RBS350 satellite does not interoperate with the 750 series product.  The 350 is a "dual band" product and the 750 is a "tri band" product.  The product data sheet for the RBS350 says "what do I need...." and the answer is a RBR350 router.

How cool. My Bad.  Since the new V4.6.7.5 is not a 'public release' yet for the 750, I would imagine that a similar release for the RBS350 would have to come through the same informal channel as the release for the 750.

Good Luck

@FURRYe38  do you happen to have ability to access to V4.6.7.5 for RBS350

[FURRYe38]

I don't. 

Try syncing the RBS3 series the 7 series RBR. Press the sync button on the RBS first then RBR. Do this while the RBS is in same room as the RBR. Give it 5 minutes or so to see if the front LED on the RBS turns BLUE. 

What is the distance between the RBS3 and RBR750?

[TWang1337]

it connects but sometimes drops out of sync unfortunately

it's not that far. 10m with direct line of sight  (i have an AX210 card in my laptop and to the router - i get 20-30mb/s 

i think it's a buggy firmware

wold love to use the same firmware for RBS3 and 7!

I'd contact NG support and let them know what your seeing.

I added yesterday 2x RBS350 satellites to my RBR850. All went very smooth.

RBR850 firmware: V4.6.8.2

RBS350 firmware: V4.4.0.10

So I now have RBR850 router (in router Mode) connected to 2x RBS750 and 2x RBS350 satellites.

An interesting thing with the RBK35x nodes compared to the 85x and 75x series is that you can use the high 5 GHz channels for the fronthaul which is not possible in the 75x and 85x according to specs:
