There are two separate firmware files, for the router (RBR50) and for the satellite (RBS50)
When doing a manual update, the user has to connect to the web interface of the device to be updated.
i.e. To update the router, connect to the router. To update the satellite, connect to the satellite, and "Firmware Update" is the bottom item on the Home Page menu.
The satellite does not have a "name" (like "orbilogin.net") Look on the Attached Devices page to learn the IP address of the satellite, then open another tab on the web browser and connect to "http://<ip of satellite>" with the same credentials ("admin" and the Orbi admin password).
Were you connected to the satellite when it rejected the firmware file?
