Can't Update Satellite Firmware to Match Router

Question

Thanks to Christina I was able to update the router firmware and it has mostly solved the problem, although I have had internet disconnections but they are no longer multiple times per day.

When I try to manually update the satellite firmware I get a pop-up window that times out before I can browse to select the file posted by FURRYe38.

The router firmware isV4.6.8.2 and the satellites are V4.6.5.14.

Any Ideas?

I kind of hate to pursue it as I have a 'good enough' solution...but I'd like the firmware of the RBR750 router and RBS750 satellites to match.

Try downgrading the RBR to v.14.&nbsp;
Have the v.2 RBS FW files at the ready on a PC once the RBR is downgraded long enough to get the RBS updated:

My router was updated by Christine to&nbsp;V4.6.8.2.&nbsp;Since it (mostly) works, I do not want to mess with it.&nbsp;I would just like my satellite firmware to match the router.&nbsp;I downloaded&nbsp;RBS750-V4.6.8.2-signed.chk from your post but cannot apply it to the satellites because the pop-up window times out.&nbsp;Why can I not choose the new file that you provided? &nbsp;That is my question...thanks.

What popup window timing out are you seeing?&nbsp;
Please post a screen capture of what your seeing.
&nbsp;
What browser are you using? Try MS Edge, Firefox or Opera

I asked Christine to push the NG 'fix' to my router so that I could use the app and log in to the router via a browser. That firmware version was&nbsp;V4.6.8.2.
&nbsp;
I would have to check to see what it was before that. Either way, the new NG firmware let me use the app and the browser, which was great.
&nbsp;
It also mostly solved the constant rebooting issue, although it has occurred.
&nbsp;
Since it is now working, I don't know that I want any of my firmware to be&nbsp;V4.6.5.14.
&nbsp;
It seems like I would want all of it to be&nbsp;V4.6.8.2 on both satellites and router.
&nbsp;
I've had an issue with timing out when trying to manually update the satellites, but may try using a different browser in a couple of days when I can afford the down-time in case something goes wrong.
&nbsp;
But I agree...this was poorly handled by such an established networking company...
