I would like to know how to receive emails when there is a new firmware available to download and install on my Orbi System
Thank you
Have a nice day
I don't think there is an instant "alert me now" option. But you can change your profile in MyNetgear to allow Netgear send you email.
Then there will be the occasional message from Netgear about new firmware. (These usually create a flurry of messages here asking of they are genuine.) Sadly, it sometimes arrives long after the update becomes available.
I use one of those web page watchers to tell me when there have been updates.
The Orbi app has a notification feature.

Care to let us into the secret as to how it works?
I see no sign of email alerts for software updates in the Orbi Android app. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
Can't see it in the browser graphical user interface either. Just the logs email.
Right top corner of app is a bell shaped symbol. It's the notification tab. A red number appears when there's an update.
Notifications also appear as a number above the Orbi app.
This browser also has a notification tab at top right.
Or use the instructions at this link.

Sadly, that does not meet the request from Nyirishman1877:
