How to Flash an RBR50 to an RBS50, and how to flash back an RBS50 back to an RBR50?
As the title says, how can I flash easily in either direction (RBR50 -> RBS50 and back if necessary). Thanks!

Forgive me for sounding like a noob but how would I do all this? Is there a step by step instruction somewhere?
I have just been using the Orbi app on my phone to add satellites and that's about it.
From what I see in the Orbi app the firmware of all my devices is the latest I believe.
