    Try v2.0.0.74 first on the RBS...

    Okay, so I log into the satellite (IP easy to guess, since currently only 3 nodes).

    Select Firmware update and browse to "RBS50-V2.2.1.212.img".

    I get the following message, "Please select correct configuration file".

    Thanks FURRYe38,  that did the trick.

    I updated both manually:

    V1.1.0.16 -> V2.0.0.74 -> V2.2.1.212 -> V2.3.0.32

    Then let it do the final version V2.5.1.16 automatically.

    I also re-downloaded firmware in case original was corrupted, but that was probably overkill.

    Thanks for all the help.

    Great to hear, ya, v74 is key if the orbi is on v1x version.

    Glad you got it working. Enjoy. :smileywink:
