Firmware Update Nightmares - The Never Ending Saga...

You need to update the satellites first then the router. 

You need to download an intermediate version of FW for both Satellites and router, lets try Version 2.0.0.74. Also download the recent v210 version as well for both.

Have the satellites connected to the router with the currnet version and send the intermediate version of FW to the satelites first. Then after those are updated, update the router. Once both are on the intermediate version, send the v210 to the satellites then send it to the router. Then you should be all caught up. I would do full factory reset after v210 is applied and set everythinng up from scratch. 

After you set up the router and system, do a Backup of the router to file. Save this file for later use if you need to factory reset the router. Saves time on setup after the reset.

'"Hi All

 

I just bought a RBK50 AC 3000 and am struggling to update the firmware, first off I bought the product at a heavily discounted price here in the swiss market from a shop that was closing down, so the product was in their shelf for a long time. Thus te FW the RBK and RBS use as is default from the box is  V1.4.0.18 , and I am trying to update it to the latest.

I read up the some prvious posts and thus tried to download the FW manually and then update the FW , but I keep getting "Please select correct configuration file" message and so am not able to upload the downloaded FW . What should I do? from my post it should be clear that I am a total noob at this, I was expectig an out of box and easy to setup/ pdate device...Please help
