Try updating the Orbi from the RBRs web page using a connected PC and web browser pointed to the RBRs web page.

Is there anything else I could try before installing manually?
The routers are not easy for me to physically access.
Firmware version of the router: 2.3.1.44
iOS Orbi App version: 2.3.7.6
Orbi Model # RBR50
I've tried to update the Orbi router from iOS ORBI apps on 2 different iPhones and my iPad Pro.

If you do not have a PC or Mac that can be connected to the Orbi with a cable, you could try using Safari on the iPad. Browse to the Orbi administrative web site (sometimes "orbilogin.com" works. I use the IP address 192.168.1.1) After you log in, it should bring up a Home page. Click to the "Advanced" tab, then Administration, then Firmware Update. If the Online Update shows new firmware, then click on "Update All".
(The Manual Update is for users who have gone to the Netgear support site and downloaded the firmware file to their PC or Mac.)
