What is the FW currently loaded on the current Orbi system and satellites?

      Hello Pmcgarryuk, 

       

      Can you confirm how many routers and satellites you have

        Originally a router and satellite, then I purchased another router and plug in satellite.

        Given I can't use the 2nd router I am hoping to use the plug in satellite. So 1 router and 2 satellites.
        Thanks
