Thanks for the quick reply!
Sorry, I should have elaborated on my post. The update was performed thru the Orbi iOS app (I typically do it thru the web portal but I was lazy this morning).

You might leave the RBS alone for now. If the system is working after the update. You can wait for a future update for the RBS.

I think you can update the satellite if there is FW for it. It should connect to the router. Do a reset on the satellite and set it up from scratch via wireless first, then try wired connection after. Give 5 minutes for the top led to turn on BLUE. It should.
