Issues with firmware on RBS20 and RBR20
(I posted this in the general purpose forum and was asked to respost here) Hi. I went through the firmware update on my Orbi setup. Router RBR20, main level two Satellites RBS20, one upstairs ...
Thanks for the response. It seems like you posted an image and it didn't like it.
What firmware do you have running on all your devices?

Same as yours. Latest update on the RBS20's and one behind on the RBR20 (I imagine I will update soon).
Here's an update.
I could not get the new 2.6.1.38 firmware to behave on my upstairs unit. I reset it to factory defaults (though not sure if it worked -- it did come back up on the network). Did the factory reset a couple times.
Ultimately dropped the firmware back to 2.3.5.36 (which is what I think I had before the updates). It would only drop it back to 2.5.1.16 (which is what the router RBR20 is).
Once this happened, it worked more reliably! The only odd thing is that the admin password is the default, and did not sync up with the router.
I'm hesitant to do anything more to it because we need strong wifi upstairs.

I would keep v16 loaded on both units. Seems like more recent version of FW on the RBS is not working well with older version of FW thats on the RBR.
I've got 2.5.1.16 on the RBR20 and one RBS20. The other RBS20 is at 2.6.1.38 (and behaving well, though I may downgrade to be consistent).
