Orbi - Can't connect or update satellite-2 firmware - Router and Sat-1 versus Sat-2 version issue

What you need to do is download a middle of the road version of FW for the Satellite, try RBS50 (Orbi Satellite) Firmware Version 2.0.0.74.
If you can get the middle of the road version loaded, then manually apply the v210 version to the satellite. It should take this time.

Thank you. I will try that. I have read many of the posts and did not see that suggestion prior. I was wondering if I had to go incrementaly up in the FW updates until reaching the current.
I will report back if that works to be of help to others.
Cheers

Many thanks for the solution of using the incremental approach of updating to RBS50 (Orbi Satellite) Firmware Version 2.0.0.74.
That worked perfectly and then synced up and fully updated to current version. Entire network is now working wonderfully.
Thanks for the help.
