Orbi RBR50 WiFi works BUT has no Internet
Recently, the Orbi stopped connecting to the Internet. A factory reset has been done on the RBR50 and it continues to broadcast WiFi. My laptop can connect to that WiFi, but there is no Internet wi...
Please let me be clear. This is not any special setup. It was bought in January this year and installed in late February to a DSL router.
Essentially, the basic instructions were followed, setting up the RBK50 router & satellite with no real difficulties. At the time, the 2.1 firmware was questionable, so the 2.0.x.x was reloaded and there were no issues at all.
A guest network was added.
It has worked without issue til recently. Other than attempting a factory reset, there have been no adjustments. Auto-update has been on the entire time.
I do not want to get into changing from the factory settings, since it set up easily and has worked well until recently. Please, there should not be a reason to change any advanced settings, right?
Is it possible to update the firmware without an internet connection with the Orbi network?

Most routers allow you to download the firmware and then to upload it from a local file.
There is a manual for the Orbi WiFi System somewhere at the end of this link:

Check the section Manually Update Firmware.
