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.
There is no benefit to turning off MIMO or Beam Forming.
For gaming, the best speeds are typically achieved by connecting the gaming console to the router with an Etherent cable. How are your consoles connected?
I find it helpful to compare the speed reported by a device on the network against the speed reported by the Orbi router (either the web interface or the Orbi 'app')
I see, so I'll just leave it as is, because on reddit some users urge to absolutely remove them since they will hinder performance haha.
I have my console connected via cable to the satellite router :).
I was more wondering why I've suddenly gotten that "error" message below saying that my router doesn't support IP packets when I've never gotten it before when doing speed tests. Is it time to update my router perhaps? It is from 2021 I think.
I did a test on speedtest.net on my computer and got this:
