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.

Enjoy. 📡
I manually re-flashed the RBS (wired backhaul) using its web interface, which went fine.
Regrettably, the satellite went back to its solid magenta ring behavior when I disconnected the ethernet connection and tried wireless syncing. 😥
The only thing I can try now is to reset the router and try adding the satellite.
I don't feel brave enough to try that!!
Success.
I rebooted the router and now, the subject satellite connects with "good".
TLDR: Reboot the router if you have problems with devices (including satellites) reconnecting after a firmware update (manual or forced 😠).
