Can't do firmware update
My Orbi is running firmware 2.0.1.4 (stable for 3 weeks) connected to an iMac, OS 10.13.4. I read about firmware 2.1.3.4, so downloaded it for manual update. I can log into my router, click on and ...
I normally use Firefox, so you convinced me to try Chrome. It let me in to the Firmware Update module without hesitation. Now I have a different issue.
I have a different Orbi system (RBR50 + 1 Satellite) in a different house. That system gave me a message to update my firmware to 2.1.3.4, which I did successfully. This system, now that I am in the Firmware Update module, does not show my the 2.1.3.4 update.
I wonder why one Orbi shows the update to me and the other system does not.
The next question would be: would I be in trouble if I do the manual update on this system, even though it is not giving me the recommendation to do this update?
You can do a manual update if you have the files already.
I recommend being wired with the router and satellite with a PC.
