Orbi RBR50
Having issue with Orbi RBR 50 router, Got the router connected and that part is working fine. The issue is that i'm having problems conecting the satelites. got only one of 4 to link up with the rout...
What FW is loaded on the RBR?
Have the RBS been updated as well or not?
One problem that RBS will not sync or connect is the FW on the RBR is updated while the RBS have not been. FW versions need to be the same across the RBR and RBS for them to work right.
the SRR is a Pro Business version of the Orbi home system. FW is different between them. I don't know if the RBS would connect to the SRR. I doubt it.
For any Orbi Pro qusetions or information, please post in the Orbi Pro forum:

How do you update the firmware for the RBS
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS and RBSY. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR.
Where you able to udpdate the RBS then get them syncd?
No! when I hooked it up to my PC and followed all the steps. When asked for my password the one with Admin and I enter the password that when I setup the router and kept getting a message that It was the wrong password. Even reset the password and still had the same issue.
