new firmware

hi - I just recently updated the router to the latest firmware v2.5.1.22.

 

the satellites are still on V2.5.1.16.

 

do they need to be updated to the latest firmware?

 

if so, how?

 

thanks,

    In general, the recommendation is for all components to be on the same release of firmware.

    Can you identify exactly which Orbi router and satellites you have? (by model number, i.e. RBR??, RBS??)

      the router is RBR 40 and the satellites are RBS 20 - 

       

      I actually found the update section any my current firmware is the latest.

       

      thank you,
