I just logged into the Orbi app on my iPad and after poking around noticed this:

 

RBR = 2.1.2.18

RBS = 2.1.1.16

 

I haven’t touched anything since unboxing and installing the Orbi & satellite in November, and I didn’t change any settings at that time — just plugged them in.

 

Do I need to have the same version on both?

 

Is the something I need to do to update this or will it do it on its own?

 

Thanks.

Well I finally got my update, 

 

Sudden connection issues forced me to reboot my RBK and RBS,

 

Then the Orbi iPad app alerted an update available and I downloaded and updated through the app with no fuss or issues so far.

 

Thanks to those who replied to help.
