I recommend a power OFF the the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first then RBS.
Should be fully synced after this.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Hello.
It is five months removed from the release of this latest firmware version and neither the app nor the browser interface is offering a newer one .
I’m going to conclude the security updates, my only interest, are insignificant are not of enough importance to require an update.

Just manually update as mentioned in the initial post.
- Yes, of course I understand how to do that.
It’s a matter of principle. On one hand we endured a period of unsolicited updates, and now the frequency has slowed down which is understandable. If the security aspect mattered, I would have expected more of a push to get the device updated. That’s it really.
I may get around to doing the full magilla, factory reset and all. Or I may not bother at all and just replace the RBK50 with a WiFi 7 device as it appears the time for new tech has arrived.I was told a long while back the NG only pushes major FW updated versions and not minor ones. This version is considered a minor update. Along with asking NG to stop auto updating users systems which over the years had a long standing problem when used, and users posted and complained about it many times. NG is giving control back to users in regards to when there systems were updated, means that you as a user control what and when your system needs updating. NG offers the FW when it becomes available and it's up to you users to updated or let the system update, if and when the majors come down the pipe. For minor stuff, it's not that hard to update manually.
Your choice.
Good Luck.
