Does pressing the reset button for 15 seconds then release on the back of the RBS change anything?
Try a 30-30-30 reset as well. If this fails, possible RBS has gone bad.
Try this as well and see if the self service web page works:

Hi,
pressing reset does not work so far I tried it 3-4 times. Also turing it off for 5+min doesn't work.
Today I hardwired (ethernet) the RBS50 to the RBR50 hoping it would make it visible for the ORBI management software so it could be updated via http://orbilogin.com (assuming only pairing etc was broken) but that did not work either.
I have read somwhere that perhas connecting the SBS50 directly to a laptop was an option? But I can't find it anymore or how to flash it from a Macbook.
