Firmware for Satellite
I just installed a new satellite. My router and original satellite firmware is v2.5.1.8 but the new one is v2.3.5.30
I checked using net gear website and it says no firmware updates needed.
Do I need to update my new satellite? How to update the individual satellite?

BTW. Lots of problems with 2.5.1.8
you may want to revert those devices to 2.3.5.30.

All you need to do is update the FW manually on the RBS.
You can download FW udpates from NGs support site:

manual updates is neither recommended or needed
