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.
This all seems like a mess for what should be a simple update. Finally did the update yesterday but despite selecting "update all" from the router admin website, it's only updated the RBR. Apparently updating the RBS after the RBR will cause "issues" so now I've got an RBR on the current FM and 2 RBS's on the previous FM. Reticent to manually update the RBS's now beacuse of these "issues".
Is the system working for you as is. if it is, you can leave the RBS alone. If not, then you can manually update the RBS to the same.
It's possible that the UPDATE All function failed to update the RBS first, or the RBS were not in a good state and did not process the newer FW at the time they recieved it. So to bring the RBS to the same version of FW as the RBR, you'll need to manually update. Or wait for something newer to arrive.
Personally I prefer to manually update systems myself. Been using this method for years. That way I KNOW it's updated correctly on each unit.

I guess my mian point it is yes, I can update the RBS's manually but you have said this would casue "issues" if the RBR was already on the latest FM so I was wondering what these "issues" were.
Issuse of the RBS being not on same version of FW maybe RBS not able to fully sync or sync at all with the RBR. Odd connections or no connections with devices at the RBS. Or maybe no issues seen at all. Kind of random problems that maybe seen however most systems should be at the same level between the RBR and RBS to avoid any issues.
So it's not a case of, "if you've updated the RBR first, DON'T then update the RBS as it will create issues"? I'd be keen to have both RBR and RBS on the current FM but I'm concerned that you have said that it's imprortant to update the RBS first.
