RBS 50 Satellite "stuck" on firmware 2.0.0.74
I have just added a second satelllite to my home network. As delivered it was on firmware v1. Via the admin panel I did a firmware update to v2, however I notice that whilst the router and first satelllite are on v2.1.1.16 but the new router is v2.0.0.74 with "No new firmware version available" listed.
Does this mean that there is no future update path for this particular router?
You need to unzip the file and then load the RBS50-V2.1.1.16.img file.

When my router updated to the latest firmware, the satelite did not update. I did the update manually and it was fine. Not sure why it didn't update automatically, it always has with past updates. But it was not a big deal to do it manually. Just follow the instructions in the advanced screen of the router interface and it took about 5 minutes to complete and link up.

Thanks, manual update was a good idea, but I get an error: "This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product."
I downloaded the file and tried again, with the same result.

Try to power cycle that satellite unit then try the update again.
