RBR20 with 3 RBW30- Having constant drop outs (I am new to this please help)

Ok, 

 

I inherited the RBR20 from a family friend. Worked splendedly. Put it into my home. (1976 Two story brick maybe 2800 sqft)

 

RBR20 is upstairs and the RBW30's are downstairs. Having constant drop outs and instability. What did I do wrong? 

 

Also cannot update one of the RBW30's when I do auto it tells me there is no update. When I try manual it tells me it must be an .img file when its a ,.chk file in the firmware download from Netgear. 

Please Help!!

    When you update the RBW30, do you connect to the RBW30 web page and select "Firmware Update"?

    I believe that in their infinite wisdom, Netgear engineers did indeed name the RBW30 firmware with a *.chk file name, where every other Orbi product uses *.img.
