I setup the Orbi router and 2 satellites which came with firmware 1.12.0.18. Powered them up, pulled the cable from my router that went to my PC and connected my PC to the Orbi system (local LAN, no internet connection). I set it up, then tried to manually update the firmware on the satellites from the v2.1.1.16 zip files (unzipped, pointed to the disc image file for the update), but got a message that the file was incorrect.
I've just re-connected my PC to the 'net and got fresh copies of the 2.1.1.16 router and satellite firmware and will try to manually install it again after I post this message. Not exactly a glorius start here.
