I recommend a power OFF the the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first then RBS.
Should be fully synced after this.
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.

Hi I follow your instructions however they don't fix the issue if you read my first post the main issue is the RBR50 firmware cannot be updated, however the RBS have been successfully updated to v2.7.5.4, my question is why does Netgear have a firmware update shown on their website yet I am unable to update to it? As mentioned it leaves the Router and the satellites on different firmware versions which is not good practice. Take a look at the screenshots I have posted they explain the issue.
Thanks for your further consideration.
FURRYe38 Thanks for the prompt - I tried again as before following the instructions by using the OrbiLogin and tethered directly to the RBR50 from my laptop using the compressed file on the Netgear site (Firmware Version 2.7.5.4) however was still only seeing the same screenshots as below:
My next attempt is to use the MS Edge browser and download a fresh file and try again, I am also using the Manual tab to force the upgrade however as the RBR50 is not shown on this tab it just isn't possible. I also updated the RBS50s without any issues and am concerned that I could have performance issues if the versions of FW are not aligned. Looking at some other advice a factory reset could be the last option, something I would prefer to avoid. Any helps or guidance is welcomed!
FURRYe38 , KevinLiT Just to add I did read the below on the instructions in the first post on this subject, however, it doesn't make sense if you give me access to the RBR & RBS FW update then only allow the RBSs to be updated and no checkbox or way to update the RBR....
NOTE: Orbi app or the routers web page may not report seeing new FW updates. NG may not push this to there auto update services immediately and may activate the newer FW update being seen on there auto update services at a later time. User will have the choice to manually update if you want too.
is the RBR updating when you use the Manual tab to send down the FW file that you unpacked from the .zip file?
Whats the version seen on the RBR home page at the top?
FURRYe38 the RBR doesn't show as an option in the Manual tab, therefore I am unable to send the FW file that I unpacked from the .zip file?
The version seen on the RBR home page at the top is the old version v2.7.4.24
I have also just lost the RBR50 completely and restarted it and now its back on and green, however both RBS50s have disconnected and showing as red. I hope this isn't the fact the FW is not aligned.
