Did you perform a 30-30-30 reset on the MS?

Manually update per page 93 of the manual, Wi-Fi connected PC. Manual does not mention ethernet connection
To manually update your satellite’s firmware:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
Can follow this guide as well for manually updating your system:

MS FIRST, then MR lastly.
If your MR is updated prior to the MS, you'll need to downgrade the MR back to what you had on it long enough to get the MS updated FIRST, then update the MR back.

After the satellite update failed but before I upgraded the router I tried to connect to the satellite via the router interface but the only option was to select the other satellite.

Although all of that took place before I did the factory reset on the bad satellite
