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.

Hello,

I was upgrading my RBR50/RBS50 from 2.7.4.24 to 2.7.5.4. As per the documentation I attempted to manually upgrade the satellite first. This seemed to go well, but after the satellite restarted it still reported its version as 2.7.4.24. I tried to upgrade it a second time, but on that attempt is said I was trying to upload the same firmware version. Moving on to the router, it upgraded to 2.7.5.4 fine.

Both the router and satellite appear to be working correctly, but I'm not sure what to do with the satellite now with it still reporting it's at 2.7.4.24 and saying I'm trying to upload the same version if I attempt to upload 2.7.5.4.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

When the Orbi complains, "trying to upload the same version", I mutter, "well, duh, just shut up already and do what I tell you to do." Click, "Yes", Do it.

And be sure to use the RBS web page to send the FW file directly to the RBS, and not the RBRs web page.
