Orbi Satellite (RBS50) not working after V2.7.5.6 firmware update

I took the V2.4.5.6 firmware updates to my router/satellites remotely. One satellite didn't update and won't connect to the router. This satellite was orginally a router that I purchased from ebay. Any suggestions on what I can do to update this satellite to get it communicating with the router again? Thank you.

    So you voided warranty and used one of the 3rd party guides to force it to act as an RBS versus an RBR? 

    You can check with that site to see if there's a way to force the new firmware to it. 

    Or downgrade the routers firmware to the older version so they match. The routers/satellites don't like to play nice when they're on different firmware versions. Maybe once they're matching, you can upgrade the satellites firmware first, if it will. Its always recommended to update the satellites first.
