Yes - poking iafter going to OrbiLogin.com and saw the option to register my product.
Here is the link at which I entered the Serial Number of my Base Station on the way to the download. WATCH model numbers carefully. There is only one character difference between the base and satilliate names/numbers.

Immediately after registering I got a screen which sent me to the manual download page. That page contained the two links below. A word of warning/information. You can only perfom one update at a time - one satillite at a time and the based also separately.

Good info from twocybers above... I would only add that when manually updating the firmware, I recall reading that you should update the satellite(s) first (using the ... RBS50.. file) , then the do the router last (using the ...RBR50... file).
That's how I've always done my manual updates using those zip files, and it's worked well every time.
Cheers, Chris

I hope the order updating is not critical - I did my base station first - I seriously doubt one can undo a firmware update.

They do suggesting doing the satellites first, but I'll presume that is so you have access to the main router in case of a problem on one of the satellites.
