WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

Did you update the RBR only thru the RBRs web page or did you select Update All? If you selected Update All, the RBS should have been updated as well. You'll need to manually update the RBS.

Finally bit the bullet and updated to V4.6.5.14. Did it through the admin website. The RBR is now on V4.6.5.14 but both RBS are still on V4.6.3.16. Checked for updates again and it's saying all three devices are up to date.
What gives?

Yes, and when I did, both the router and the satalites were on V4.6.3.16 but it was only showing V4.6.5.14 as an availble update for the router. It stated (as it still does) that there were no updates available for the satalites. I clicked the "update all" button but only the router got updated.
How do I now get the satalites on the same version as the router? I'm on a Mac if that makes any diffrence.

Download the FW file for the RBS using the link at the head of this post thread. You use use any web browser and log into the RBS web page and send the FW file to the RBS after the zip file is unpacked.

Thanks. You say in the opening post though that the RBS need to be updated before the RBR. The RBR is already updated so will this cause issues?
