have you tried hardwiring them in to update?
Are they showing as connected in the attached devices page?

They're showing up in the attached devices page as being connected. I can't hardwire the satellites. I gave away all of my ethernet cables except one, so that's not an option for me.

You'll need to get a ethernet cable and connect the RBS to the RBR to get them updated. I presume you may have auto updated the system and it messed up by not updating the RBS properly as the RBS need to updated first before the RBR is updated. So possible the auto update system is not finding the newer FW which it should. Historically auto update has not been great for users. You'll have to manually update the RBS after they are ethernet connected to the RBR.

Thanks for the suggestion. I bought Ethernet cables, and I attached both of the RBS to the RBR. I attached a screenshot that shows the results of the update check. I thought that the RBS firmware version would match the RBR firmware version, but that was not the case.
