What Firmware version is currently loaded?

I really new into network configuring and setup so sorry for my slow handling and lack of knowledge.
I'm lost in what to do now. I don't know why the satelite wont do a 5G backhaul connection to the router..
Edit: I have updated both BRB and BRS to 2.5.1.16 aswell.
