It's receommended after every firmware update to "reset" the satellites. To do this, you need a paper-clip.. insert it into the hole next to the LED light on the back of the satellite.. hold it in for 20-30 seconds until the LED turns yellow and starts blinking.. release it.. then let it normally boot-up (i.e. blinking white light onhte font of the RBS850) and let it connect to the RBR850 (i.e. when you see as olid "blue" light).
You may also need to re-"sync" the RBR850 and RBS850s. Use the "sync" button on the other side of hhe RBR850 and RBS850 for this purpose. Press and hold the "sync" button on the RBS850 satellite, then you got 2 minutes to do the same on the RBR850 main router ro access point. These buttons are sorta hard to press so be sure you press it firmly.

Pressing the reset button is only needed for 15 seconds. No longer.
