Yes you can update your router to the Netgear stock firmware. It worked for me. Just download the latest firmware for the RBR50 from Netgear downloads site and follow instructions in their page about uploading the firmware using a TFTP client:

One thing not mentioned in the description above is how to put the router into recovery mode. You need to press the reset button while powering on the router and keep pressing it few seconds after the orange /red light next to it keeps flashing. That will keep the router in recovery mode so you can then send the firmware file from your computer by clicking "Put" in the TFTP software.
You can use the same method to update the satellite using its corresponding firmware.
When done your router will be unlocked for use with any network you wish to use.

I don’t think you will be able to use the original Netgear Orbi firmware, but probably you can use one of the custom-made firmware images like Voxel and others.
