I also updated my router first. I was able to update my satellite by navigating to the Web GUI on the satellite's IP and updating from there. Did you try that? You will need to determine the IP address of your satellites first. They are listed under attached devices on the router GUI.
Thanks to both of you for your quick answers!
MarkC1024, I wasn't aware that there were different versions for the router and satellites, but I looked on Netgear and found a version for the satellites (I had to search for RBK53 whereas before I looked under RBR50 which showed up due to my model number). The odd thing was that it had the exact same file name, but I downloaded it anyway.
st_shaw, I was able to log into each individual satellite via your method and then using the new file I just downloaded, was able to successfully upload the file to both of them. They are now currently using the latest firmware. Thank you both for the great information! I really appreciate it.
Thanks for letting us know how it worked out. Glad we could help.
