My RBS750 won't sync with my RBR750

Okay. Forgive me for my horrible English.    My router/satelitte acted last night. So I thought a firewire update will try to fix it. Router was on v3 (could not update it via website or app.) But ...

What happens if you hardwire the satellite back into your router and then try syncing it? 

And what actual firmware version is on the router and the satellites? Those aren't full versions you listed.

Thank you so much for reply.

Router version is 3.2.16.22. I don't know what version the satellite is after the factory reset.

Hardwire? Like I hook Ethernet cable to outer port of router to my satellite?

    You're quite a ways behind on firmware.

    Yes, try hardwiring the satellite into the router for getting it setup, updated, and sync'd. Once you have that done, you can disconnect it and put it back where you want it.

      Which FireWire would you recommend for RBR.

      I tried to hook Ethernet cable to RBR and rbs. Reboot rBs and wait two minutes for it to finish start up. I see blue light. (Same as before.) Then I press both sync button on them. Rbs light blinked for 45 second to 1 minutes. Then it disappears again. I'm frustrated. It happens to my another rbs (the one I did not Manuel install FireWire in first place.)

      I don't know how to access rbs via Ethernet.
