Accidently updated the router before satellite on MK63
According to this web page:
https://kb.netgear.com/000063806/MR60-MS60-Firmware-Version-V1-0-6-112-Hot-Fix
I'm suppose to update MS (satellite) first then MR (router) second.
As the title said i accidently updated the router before satelite.
Currently under router update tap.
MR60 firmware is v1.0.6.112 (latest)
But both satellie 1 and 2 firmware is still v1.0.6.102 (08/12/2020 relase)
I've been trying to update the satelites with MS60-V1.0.6.112_2.0.52chk and they fail everytime.
Everything seems to work ok so far, but would like to both MS satellite updated to the latest firmware as MR.
Please advise.
Thank you.

You need to update the RBS before updating the RBR. Keep this in mind for future updates.
See if this process works for the MK series as it works for Orbi systems:What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR.
Good to hear. No, just re-sync the RBS to the RBR and it should acquire the data it needs.
