If you can get it connected to the RBR or connect it via ethernet to the RBR, log into it's web page and get it updated manually.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Ok, ya, you'll need to get v.210 or v.212 installed on the RBR then you can go directly to most current seen here in the forums. I recommend updating ANY RBS FIRST, then do the RBR lastly.

ALL FIXED! Thank you! I never would have figured that out in a million years.
I got one RBS up to date and the other is on way old firmware. I don't really need a second one but is there a way to get that one caught up now that the router is on FW V2.7.4.24?

Hello phlying1 ,
I understand that the firmware on your satellite is older than the firmware on the router. Incremental updates may be needed to get your satellite caught up to your router. The proven best way to update devices with older firmware is to update the satellite in two firmware update increments.
Please let us know if you have additional questions!
If you can provide the current firmware on your satellite I would be happy to create a road map for you!
Best,
Kevin
