Is it safe to update Orbi firmware with the Orbi app?

I have the Orbi RBK53v2 system (RBR50 & RBS50). 

 

Everything that I have read in this forum and in the manual, say when updating the firmware to always update the satellites first and then the router.  No idea why I have to do this. I have therefore always done this manually in the past to be safe. When the 2.7.2.102 firmware came out, I clicked the update button in the app. It updated everything correctly.

 

So my question is, when you click update in the Orbi app, does the app know to update the satellites first and then the router? While looking at the lights cycling on the Orbis, it looked like everything updated at the same time.

so you used the app to update....amazing!

you say it worked...?  How long has it been?  Keep an eye on it.

The one thing previous posts neglect to mention....."update at your own RISK".
