RBS50 fails to update but RBR50 is successful
Hi, So I downloaded the firmware from Netgear RBR50-V2.7.6.6 since the router does not find any new version besides the old I have which is 2.7.5.6, updated the main router and it worked perfectl...
The satellite firmware file is different from the router firmware:

As FURRYe38​ mentioned, I find it easier to connect to the satellite IP address and use the Firmware Update menu selection on the satellite itself.
Ok so CrimpOns firmware worked :). Both firmwares ended in .img but they updated fine. So thank you both for your help :).
Before I finish off, since I have two experts here I might as well ask if these settings below (see picture) are best for this router :).
Edit: Ok so I am trying to upload a picture but it says "media upload in progress, please wait a few minutes" and nothing else happens. If I wait the page just reloads after awhile and both this answer and the picture I want is not there, tried uploading from computer and also as a file. So I will have to try uploading it later.
There is a known forum bug that copying and pasting in pictures of a large size isn't working. To get around this, you'll need to use a cloud share service and use the DIRECT LINK option, then as you post, in the editing of the post, use the camera icon then select From Image URL. Poste in the DIRECT LINK. Then your picture should be seen in the post.
Glad you go the RBS updated. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
