You can connect a wired PC to the 40 satellite and attempt to get it upgraded manually. Satellites and routers need to be on same FW version to connect well.

Try connecting the RBS40 via wired to the RBR50 router, look up to see what IP address it gets from the RBR router, if you can get an IP address on it, connect a PC to the back of the RBS other port with a PC and navigate to the IP address the satellite got from the router in a web browser...Then manually upload the FW file for it.
