Firmware update
Since these a**holes don't have support I wanted to know if anyone knows where to download the latest firmware update for this product? All I can find is stupid release notes. Thanks in advance. ...

You are trying to open a img file?
That is not how it works.
As CrimpOn explained, you extract the img file from the zip file and upload the img file you are trying to open to the router.
I gather that even Macs come with a built-in extraction feature.
There is support for the Orbi WiFi System, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:

See the section Manually Update Firmware.
Take a deep breath. Calm down and work through the process a step at a time in the procedure described there. It really is that simple.
Is there a problem with your Orbi, if not, you may just want to leave it alone. "if it works, don't fix it!"
