1. Manually download V2.1.2.18 firmware for the satellite from here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.aspx#download.
2. Navigate to orbilogin.com in a broswer. Log into orbi and find the satellite IP address in GUI. Satellite IP address is shown under attached devices.
3. Navigate to http://Satellite IP/fwUpdate.htm in a broswer. Log into orbi and browse to the location where you downloaded the firmware and install.

Thank you for your reply iJester, but still it returns the same error message in my case:
This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.
The uploaded file I used was RBS40-V2.1.2.18.img for my RBK40 satellite, which I believe is an RBS40. Perhaps there is something wrong with the file?
