Might someone on here be willing to step me through it? I have Reddit. We could DM back and fourth. I can’t imagine it’d take too long. Also, once I do it, I’m sure I could do it again next time without the assistance.

Really strange .... I have an RBR850 and 4 x RB853 sats. The app reports that it is on the latest FW ... V4.4.14.3.
If I ask it to check for updates it says it's up to date.
About a year or so back, one of the NG guys spent an age with me getting the sats and router up to date and found a duff sat which they arranged a very efficient replacement of.
But I'm wondering why the app does not tell there are updates to do?
Any advice how to go about fixing this would be appreciated. As it goes I do have an issue with a third party 2.4ghz device which does indicate an issue relationship wise with one of the Orbi sats .... of course to get up to date FW on all the devices would be another tick in the fault finding list
Appreciate any help you can give

You can manually update the system, RBS first, then RBR lastly:

Hello,
I've run into an issue where every time my RBR850 reboots, the setting for the SIP alg being disabled turns back on, even though the UI still shows it as checked off. The only way to get it back off is to:
a) Uncheck the box
b) check the box
c) power cycle the RBR850
The next time the RBR850 is power cycled, however, the SIP alg is back in place and I have to go back through the above steps. I've tried doing a factory reset multiple times it does not solve the issue. This seems like a bug in this specific firmware release as I did not have this problem prior to updating to it last year.
