What FW version do you have loaded currently?
Try a different browser. IE11 or Firefox.
Be sure to upack the .zip file to reveal the actual FW files to be used as suggested....

Downloaded both new Satellite and Router Firmware (RBS20-V2.3.5.36 & RBR20-V2.3.5.36) and attempted to install Manually
through the web browser with the "Satellite" first since Automatic Download does not show a update function for either Router or Satellite and the firmware was rejected, saying wrong version.
Why is your firmware update not working?
current FW: RBR20-V2.3.5.26
Try a different browser?
Yes, tried Firefox and while that did allow me to update the Satellite to FW .36
...after Satellite restarted and I logged back in, it went back to FW .26.
It's as if the .36 HOT FIX does not apply to my RBR20, yet it shows as the lastest FW update online.
Try this with the RBS:
Facotory reset the the satellites by pressing the back button for 15 seconds then release, wait about 5 minute. Wire connect a PC to the back of the RBS. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The IP address of the satellite 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 satellite to the RBR.
