Trying to connect RBS20 Satellite to RBR50 - Shows Connection Type Offline
I have a functioning RBK50 with an RBR50 and RBS50. I bought a used RBS20 which powers up and I was able to factory reset it. When I look at my Orbi app, it shows as attached (connected) to the RBR...

RBS20 Firmware is V2.2.1.210
Here is a suggestion, if you've done it, please ignore.
- Download V2.2.1.210 for RBR50
- Shutdown all RBS50 if you have more than one RBS50
- Revert RBR50 to V2.2.1.210
- Try to sync it with RBS20 again (both should be on the same FW version now)
If RBR50 is able to talk/sync to RBS20, then upgrade RBS20 to the latest firmware before upgrade RBR50 firmware. Make sure that RBR50 and all its RBSx0 are on the _same_ firmware version.
Good Luck!
Thanks but I was hoping to avoid that rigamarole by going with an Orbi system in the first place. My RBR50 has 2.3.5.30.
2.2.x seems like it is pretty old. I'm not sure I want to try that. Maybe I can do an ethernet connecion to the RBS20 and update just the satellite instead as plemens mentioned in post 3?
