If this fails then the RBS needs to be replaced:
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTPNeed to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.&nbsp;I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.
Try nmrpflash?Others have had luck with that when tftp didn't workhttps://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash

There are no user changeable parts on Orbi systems.&nbsp;
