You need to update the MS first then the MR lastly. After FW is sent to the MS and MR and the process completes, a power OFF of the MS and MR is recommended for 1 minute or longer, then back ON with the MR first, then the MS one at a time. The MS should reconnect with out any problems. Keep this in mind for next FW update. MAC addresses should not be changing on the MS nor the MR.

I had to update both the router and the two sattelites manually. Was unable to connect the two sattelates afterwards. What was interesting was that both satelites had different mac adresses (the last digit was different in both cases) after the update. I have been trying to get the mesh network up and running again to no avail. Sattelites simply refuse to connect. Before the update everything was working, after the update only the router was.

Thank you for that info FURRYe38. Perhaps I will make another attempt in the near future. Good to know I also thought it was suspicious that the MAC addresses of both MS' changed. The FW updates also changed the standard passwords and usernames btw after I had reset all devices to factory settings.
Yes any factory reset will clear out any user configurations and user set passwords. It does not change the FW version. Just clears out user configurations.

I thought it odd that installing a different FW apparently also changes the 'factory username and password'.
Ya thats odd, FW updates shouldn't do that....
