If you have the RBS latest v2.5.1.8 on your PC. Wire connect your PC to the back of the RBS. Press the reset button for 15 seconds then release. Wait about 5 minutes. Use IE11 or FireFox or Opera and navigate to 192.168.1.250. Use admin and password to log in. Use the RBSs web page to send the FW file to the RBS directly. Once sent, let it process. You can check to see if it updated by logging bacck in again. After checking the version, log out. Disconnect the PC from the RBS. Re-sync the RBS to the RBR.
If the RBR needs to be updated, update the RBR to v2.5.1.8.

Did you perform the manual update by connecting directly to the satellite (using its IP address)?

Tried accessing the Satellite (192:168:0:4) but couldnt open Web based console. Is there another way in? One thing I noticed the Router status shows the Satellite is wired but the ethernet between Router and remote is not connected. The backhaul status is good.

Make sure you are installing the RBS image file on the satellite, not the RBR image file (which is for the router).

followed the guide in the Users Manual to manually update the Satellite but the only response I get from the unit is:
