WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.
Id ensure the RBS are working directly connected.
Then take one of the other switches and connected while you have the RBS near the RBR. Test and check the RBS. Swap out each switch and test to see if anything appears. Switch can go bad. Also this helps verify RBS and swtich operation.
Might be a cable issue too.
Your current swtich is Green Ethernet supporting:

Something that Orbi has long has had a problem with in the past. Even though it worked for you on v3, v4 may have changes this behavior. So try a different switch while you trouble shoot this.
My 8 series is in AP mode currenly and both RBS are working with v4 loaded while connected to my HP Procurve switch. I'll check on my 7 series after a while.

Looks like whatever changed in the firmware, I'm just unlucky...

Interesting these both are similar units using same green ethernet features but the 16 series is giving problems while the 50 series doesn't.
I presume there is on user UI for these switches that you could check to see if you can disable the "IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet" feature?
If not, I guess use the 50 series as your in between switch for the RBR and RBS...
