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...
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?

Actually, I am not suggesting you stay at that old version. The main reason for rolling RBR50 back to 2.2.x so that it can sync and upgrade the firmware on RBS20 from 2.2.x to the latest FW version. The reason that RBR50 fails to sync with RBS20 could be due to different FW versions between RBR50 and RBS20.
After you upgrade RBS20 to the latest firmware, you can upgrade RBR50 back to the latest version. The pupose is to get all to the latest firmware so that can talk/sync to each other.
