RBS-50 firmware of V9.2.5.1.18SF-HW says no update available

You can directly update RBS with the following method with out having to use the RBR:

What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC. Either have Stock or Voxel FW files on the PC. 

Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS 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 satellites to the RBR. 

FYI, if you keep Voxels FW loaded on the Orbi system, you can not use the RBR FW auto update chacker to check for FW files. This doesn't work in his version of FW. You'll need to manually download his files as they come out from this and apply them directly. So you'll have to keep an eye out for his updates manually.

I've had RBK-50 (router + 1 satellite) for a number of years and bought 2 more RBS-50 satellites from a friend. He said he bought his as a 3-pack (router + 2 satellites) even before I bought my 2-pack.

 

I was able to connect my RBK-50 to his 2 additional satellites so I now have 1 router + 3 satellites.

 

However, when I went to orbilogin.net > Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update, my two are at firmware version V2.5.1.16 and his two are at version V9.2.5.1.18SF-HW and all 4 pieces say "No new firmware version available." -- how can that be? Shouldn't his weird version numbers be updated to the latest like my original two pieces?

 

Thanks for any help! :)
