Orbi RBR50 Firmware 2.5.1.8 and RBS50Y firmware

So I have an Orbi RBR50 router with 5 satellites connected (3 RBS50s and 2 RBS50Ys).

The router is currently on V2.3.5.30 (down reved from 2.5.1.8 because previously it lots communication with all Satellites).

So, currently the firmware versions are:

RBR50 Router - 2.3.5.30

RBS50 Satellite - 2.5.1.8 (all 3 on on this version)

RBS50Y Satellite - 2.3.5.32 (both of them)

 

When I go to the firmware update page, the RBR50 wants me to re-upgrade to 2.5.1.8 but until my RBS50Ys are updated I suspect this would be a problem.   When I go to the product page for the RBS50Y I see 2 versions in downloads, 2.3.5.32 (what I have) and 2.5.1.108 which says it is for Orbi Pro.     

 

What do I need to do in order to upgrade the firmware on my RBR50?  Should my RBS50Ys be updated to the 2.5.1.106 firmware?

Re: Orbi RBR50 Firmware 2.5.1.8 and RBS50Y firmware

Is the system working? If it is you don't have to update the RBR. 

Firmware Version 2.3.5.32 (Orbi Mode for Orbi) is the most current version for the RBSY. Unless you have the Orbi Pro router, then you can use the Pro version of the FW for the RBSY. If not, then v32 is the most current version for the RBSY.
