The firmware check via the orbilogin dashboard doesn't update properly based on my experience. I was using that for some time only to find out by checking directly on the netgear support page that my firmware was 3 versions behind already.
I think the firmware applies to all units since the UK page redirects you to the main netgear home when you click on the product support link.
make sure you donwload the firmware for sat and router separately and apply them separately as well. you hav eto take note of the download links because they both have the same file name. Just save them to separate folders.
In any case, the firmware for the sat will not be accepted if you apply it to the router and vice versa. Firmware update will not proceed.Hope this helps

- Capt1961May 19, 2020AspirantMany thanks. I thought that the firmware was the same as like you say the UK site redirects to the .com site. Just wanted some reassurance before taking the plunge.
Will update in a few days when back home due to this coronavirus isolation.
