RBS860 Sync Failing
I've been trying to sync my RBS860 to my RBR860 and the setup up the satellite fails each time. I've tried through both the app and the web browser of the router (192.168.1.1) When trying to set ...
When using the Generation new backhaul password button you mentioned, it mentioned 'Satellite setup successful' when adding the satellite via the web page via the Basic Tab -> Add Orbi Satellite
The led indicator on the satellite flashed blue and turned solid blue and is now off. However, the Satellite itself is still not listed within the Attached Devices -> Connected Satellites.
When accessing the Advanced Tab -> Security -> Access Control, the RBS is only listed under the 'View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network', which I assume is because I connected the two previously via ethernet.
Will there be any issue with me downgrading the RBR to v.21 via the web browser, if the RBS is currently on v.31?

Yes, RBS first, then RBR lastly. After system has been downgraded, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch.
Do you have any suggestions/recommendations on how to perform the downgrade on the satellite if I can't log into its IP from a web browser?
- I was able to get both RBS and RBR downgraded to .21 but now the sync seems even worse than before.
When trying to sync using the web browser or the app itself, I receive "Setup not successful" almost immediately (web browser), and "Satellite not found" via the app.
I am convinced somehow the satellite is bricked.
