Not going well for me...
I have an RBR850 and 2 RBS860s. Through the web interface, I updated the two satellites. No clue if it took. They no longer show up as connected. I tried re-syncing (using the buttons and bringing them within 6 feet of each other) multiple times with no luck. I tried syncing with the app. Still no luck. I wired one into the RBR and it showed up with all of my other networked device, not as a satellite. I would like to try and reflash the satellites, but not sure how at this point. I have not yet flashed the router itself. Afraid I will take down any connectivity I currently have. Any suggestions?
I would have opened up the web pages on each RBS first, staged the FW file on each RBS and sent the FW file on each. After each one reports loading and a progress circle, you can go to the RBRs web page and load and send the RBRs FW file.
Wire connect 1 RBS850 to the RBR. Check the RBRs web page for an IP address seen for the RBS thats connected. Use this IP address to log into the RBS web page. Log in maybe admin and password. Update the RBS FW using the downloaded FW file linked at the top of this post thread.
If you can get FW sent to both, then go to update the FW on the RBR lastly. Don't wait for the RBS to come back to ready after sending there FW file, just update the RBR.
"NOTE: Update the RBS first, then the RBR lastly. After the FW files are loaded and the RBS and RBR are ready, power OFF the RBS and RBR for 2 minutes then back ON." also seen at the top of this post thread.

Thank you. I have logged in directly to one of the satellites. It looks like it worked the first time (last night), but I a, redoing it. Will do the same to the other.
queation... can the router be on the older firmware with satellites on the newer one? I want to confirm the satellites are back up and running before I update the router?
Yes. Thought I recommend after the RBS are in progress of updating, go head and send the RBRs FW file. Once all is back to ready, power OFF the RBS and RBR for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first, then RBS lastly.
