Problem adding second RBS50 to my RBR50
At least a year ago I bought an RBR50 that came with two RBS50's. I've only been using one of the RBS50's and now want to add the second one. It appears to have synced, but I am having trouble upda...
You need to first get the RBS #2 updated to a intermediate version since it's on a very old version of FW. Load v2.0.0.74 first. Then try to load v210

RBR 50 is V2.2.1.210
RBS 50 (#1) is V2.2.1.210
RBS 50 (#2) is V1.4.0.18
Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

That worked. Thank you.
I have an old Orbi system (one router and one satellite network name Orbi44) that I am replacing with the new ORBI Voice model RBK50 router with one satellite (network name Orbi14). I would like to use the old satellite with the new setup so that I will have two satellites. I see advice about updating the software but don't know how to do that since my system doesn't recognize it. Can you advice me?
Can you get the satellite connecte to the old RBR and upgrade the satellite there first, if that succeeds, then factory reset the RBS and see if it will connect to the new RBR.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
