RBS50 Config sync stuck
I've had a full working RBR50 and RBS50 for the past 3 years. No issues, all devices connected, no problems. The past 48 hours have been hell! Somehow the satellite lost connection, so I did the ty...
I'm in Router Mode, not AP. And have been since day one. I ditched the ISP modem, since they sucked at the time and used the Orbi system since.
I cant access the RBS via IP address (i tried), mainly because the unit is not connected to the internet. I showing a "wifi signal" and allowing devices to "connect to it", but anything "connected" to is not getting internet.
Hello Cboglio,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having issues with your RBR50 and RBS50 due to a network compatibility issue. This issue can occur if the RBR50 is on a different firmware than your RBS50. Please check the Firmware on your router and your satellite.
Please follow the link below for instructions on how to check your firmware version and update your Orbi satellite:

Ok....I updated BOTH RBR50 and RBS50 using the instructions above - downloaded the firmware, updated RBS first, then RBR.
BackHaul is stable and "Good"....YES! BUT.....
The Internet is not working with the connected devices to the satellite. I thought Backhaul issue was the main problem, however now that Backhaul is "good", I still don't get internet.
I'm at a complete loss now.
