Updating the firmware for my RBR50 and RBS50
My current firmware that I'm on is V1.4.0.18. Any recommendations on how to update to the latest firmware version? Thank you all in advance

Thank you so much. In what order do I need to do the update? I was told do the satellite first. Is that true? Also when updating the satellite can I just plug my cat5 cable directly into the router to update it or do I need to plug it directly into the satellite? Thank do much in advance.

Yes, the generally accepted practice is to do the satellites first. Personally, I have no idea if that is required, better, or not.
Connecting directly to the router with an ethernet cable is also the recommended practice. A WiFi connection will work, but is not as convenient as a wired connection.
