Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102
A new Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102 installed automatically during the night. So far so good!
I just noticed that my RBR50 automatically updated to version 2.7.2.102 a few days ago, but when I checked my RBS50 it was still running version 2.7.0.70. Is it normal for the satellite not to be updated during the automatic update process?
You can update it manually by downloading the formware file from

Use the web interface

define 'automatically updated'
normally when using the pc login the process will update both
I had a bad experience manually updating my system to 2.7.0.70 where my router did not fully update and the web interface was unreachable, but I was able to use the Orbi app to complete the update on the router. Based on this experience, I have been holding off on installing some of the recent firmware releases until they also show up within the app. Last night I was viewing the device details on both my router and my satellite in the Orbi app, and I noticed that my router was now running version 2.7.2.102. I checked the debug page on my router and it showed an uptime of about 7 days. I then checked my satellite, and it was still running 2.7.0.70 and had an uptime of around 126 days. It was my understanding that the router and satellite(s) should all be running the same firmware version, so I found it odd that the 2.7.2.102 update would only be pushed to the router.
I should also add that the 2.7.2.102 update was not showing up either in the app or web interface when checking for new firmware.

my advice....get both the router and sat(s) on the same FW, then leave it alone.
