Hi stancanyon,
I understand that you are having issues syncing your RBR50 router to the RBS50. Since the RBR50 was able to sync for a couple of minutes before it disconnected can mean that it is time for a firmware update. Below I have embedded links to reset your RBK50 system as well as the most recent firmware update.
