Orbi RBR20 Firmware update issue

Hello,

           I just attempted to update my Orbi RBR20 system to firmware v2.3.5.36 but was only partially successful.  The router shows the correct version but the satelite show v2.3.5.26.  At the moment everything works but I know there will be issues at some point.  When I try to manually log into the satelite, I get this:

401 Unauthorized

Access to this resource is denied, your client has not supplied the correct authentication.

 

How can I get the satelite firmware upgraded?  Should I even be concerned?

Dave

      If you are happy with the Orbi now, leave it alone.

      If there is anything that is "not working", please post a question and give people a chance to weigh in on solutions.

       

      (these damn emails are SO FRUSTRATING)

        I have a problem, RBR20 additional satelite doesn't work via daisy chain, I have Router > Sat-1 > Sat-2 setup, I checked the setting for daisy chain is enabled via admin, changed sats around, changed settings & rebooted numerious times.

         

        What I can see is the sat furthest away keeps trying ( and failing ) to connect to the router.... why... its not going to work sat2... your just to far away mate.... sat-1 is only 20 feet away, connect to that, I am thinking about firmware update as I am on V2.3.5.26, but I just know its going to give me more problems reading everyone else's posts..... any other suggestions anyone ? or do I bite the bullet ?
