I can't sync RBR850 with RBS853
Hi evren body I had RBR850 router working fine with its RBS850 but the coverage was not good so I bought used package RBK853 to add 2 satellites to existing system .but I failed to synchronize them ...
You can get FW here:
Would be best to update the new 2nd system first by connecting the new system offline from the modem. You dont' need the system connected at all to the ISP modem. Update the RBS to v.5 then the RBR lastly.
After the new system has been updated, update your system as well. RBS first then RBR lastly.
After All is updated, the 2nd system RBS should then connect to the 1st system. I would turn off the 1st system RBS while you get the new RBS connected to the 1st RBR.
thank you for quick response
I discovered the used package is same as mine RBR850+ 2 RBS850 >>I don't know how to find FW for them unless I connect the 2nd package to my network as new mesh.
the answer to questions are:
What Firmware version is currently loaded between the two systems? the 1st system FW is V4.6.3.16
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT ( HUAWEI-5G) the NG router is connected too? yes if I understand your question.
Can you get the RBS to connect to there RBR that they came with? yes I'm using it now
FW will need to be the same version on RBS as what on your 1st RBR. I don'tknow how to get it for 2nd package ?

I will try to do update both systems as your instructions. But I didn’t see V.5 tha latest virgin is 4.6.8.5.is that what you mean.
Yes.
it fails
this what I did
I connected the new package router to my modem and throughmy Mac I did setup as normal put it fails to sync any of 2 satellites comes with . so I hard reseted the router and 2 sat. put same I can't add any sat to the system to be able to update FW to latest .
I don't know what rong I did ? and how can I update FW without adding each sat to the system. I only can update router now but I didn't as per you suggestion.
please tell me what can I do because I am not so good in networking issues.
Not: the 1st system is working during the setup and I am using same ISP modem.
