You should be able to update to v2.5.1.8 directly on the RBS first then RBR lastly.

Download the .zip files for each RBS and RBR. Unpack the .zip file to reveal the .img files. Use IE11, Firefox or Opera web browser on a wire connected PC to send the .img files manually.
Once you get the RBS and RBR updated, factory reset both units and setup from scratch.

SUCCESS!!! I didn't even need to use the image files. I clicked into the Orbi on my network (via ethernet) and was able to login and update all 3 through there. After resetting it sill brought up the name of the router so was happy to not have to set that up again. I did make the mistake of trying to add the system as a new setup and it kept trying to connect into a nonexisten wifi network. I finally decided to (after removing and installing the app a couple of times) to just click no to the new setup and was able to go on with my day.
Thanks to you and everyone for their help!
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a backup configuration to file for safe keeping later on. Saves time if you need to reset later on down the road.
Please mark your thread and solved.
Enjoy. :smileywink:- Thanks for the tip! How do I save a backup configuration?!
Noted with thanks: I’m not sure if marking it solved will close the thread so I’ll wait for a response on how to save before marking resolved..! :)Log into the RBRs web page and under Advanced Tab/Administration/Backup I believe is the place.
