Manually Update Firmware
If a satellite is connected to your router, you can log in to the router to manually upload
the firmware on your satellite.
Warning: We recommend that you always update the firmware on your satellite first,
and then update your router. Also, do not update the firmware on your router and
satellite at the same time.
To manually update the firmware on your Orbi router and satellite, follow these
high level steps:
1.
Visit netgear.com/support and download the firmware for both your Orbi router and
satellite.
2.
Update the firmware on your Orbi satellite.

Update the firmware on your Orbi router.
