RBS50 Unable to update to latest firmware v2.1.1.16 from v2.0.0.74

Try moving satellite closer and do a factory reset on the satellite. Also, the process seemed to take atleast 6 minutes - 10 minutes for it to sync. The issue might be because it wouldnt sync with the router. I had to flash back to the 2.0.0.74 cause there was sync issues.

It is currently running v2.0.0.74. Tried wifi right next to the satellite then ethernet but same result.
I had success once before upgrading after purchase the router/satellite to v2.0.0.74 but now getting this error. Might try power cycling the satellite to see if that makes any difference before a factory reset (neither steps was indicated in the kb instructions).
After a power reset, I was able to update the satellite to latest v2.1.1.16 ... It then went ahead and updated the router (RBR50) as well. No need to re-enter or restore configuration. It is working nicely again.
