RBS50 Config Sync and Waiting For Connection
Mac OS 11.5.2
RBR50 V2.7.3.22 (No new firmware version available)
RBS50 V2.7.3.22 (Waiting for connection)
Units are about 50 feet apart.
In IOS app, says satellite offline
Browser shows RBS50 waiting for connection under firmware update
Browswer shows Backhaul Status "Config Sync" for RBS50
I've rebooted both, didn't help.
Firmware appears to be current and matching router.
Router and Satellite are "connected" via WiFi, not wired.
The Satellite is sort of working - some devices are connecting to it and working, but...
Issues:
1. Devices which are closer to the router than satellite are connecting to the satellite instead of router. Most will have internet.
2. My 16" MacBook Pro will connect randomly to one or the other and when connected to the satellite, I'll have no internet.
3. Slow internet speeds (was fine a couple weeks ago, ISP just came out and couldn't figure out Orbi issues).
4. Clearly something is wrong due to error message above.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

Try syncing the RBS closer to the RBR, maybe in same room as the RBR first, then place back in remote location.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
