Adding 2nd wired RBS50v2 to RBR50/RBS50 results in new Satellite with "Config Sync"

I am trying to connect a 2nd satellite (RBS50v2) to a currently wired RBR50 / RBS50 setup.  All 3 have the same version (v2.7.4.24).  I manually reset the Satellite.  I reloaded v2.7.4.24 over the same version.  I am currently directly wiring the new satellite directly in to the router.  (I have tried multiple cables.)  The Backhaul Status is "Config Sync" and the the Firmware Update can't see the version of the new satellite.

 

The long term plan is to wire this satellite in the basement.

 

Any ideas on what I should do?

Thanks!

    Try first wireless sync the RBS to the RBR using the Add Satellite feature on the RBR with the RBS in the same room as the RBR?

     

    Might update FW as well. Check here in the forum about new FW.
