Orbi Satellite won't downgrade

Does anybody knows what is going on with my RBS50?  This new firmware 2.2.1.210 is bad and keeps dropping the connection with the router.

I tried to manually downgrade the firmware and after starting the process it says is loading and completes at 100% with no error but after it reboots it still in the latest firmware 2.2.1.210, done it 5 times same result....

Try a different browser, IE11, FF or Opera. Do a factory reset on the satellite. Hold in the reset button until the top LED turns on AMBER then let go.

Re: Orbi Satelite won't downgrade

Thank you FURRYe38, I tried all your suggestions, none worked!

I am not sure what is going on since I downgraded the firmware on this satellite before without issues. I am just wondering if NG is either locking downgrades now or the version I am trying to upload is too old, tried 2.0.0.74 and 2.0.1.4.

The process works fine and I see the upload process screen complete @ 100%, than it times out and when it is back the current firmware still there!

Well maybe it's not necesary to downgrade the satellite.
