Try 192.168.10.250 after you factory reset the RBS and don't sync it. Give 5 minutes and check with a ethernet connected PC.
If you can get to the RBS web page here, what FW version is loaded?
Try turning OFF all other RBS and bring the one RBS to the same room as the RBR.
Try the Generate New Backhaul PW then try to sync.
Try the Add Satellite button on the RBRs web page.
What FW version is loaded on the entire system?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

Possible RBS may have gone bad. Being in the Garage, some outside environment conditions could play a roll in this.
- wahhabmJul 06, 2023AspirantIt has been getting to 100 degrees inside the garage. I guess it killed it

Eeeks, ya over time, external and internal heat combined would degrade the electronics and cause it to fail.
I recommend that if you going to place a RBS in the garage, put a USB fan under it. Something like this is what I use under my RBR and would work for the RBS:
