Orbi RBR/RBS50 Firmware Updates
Help!! I'm trying to manually update my Orbi RBR/S50 firmware, and I go to the link to download the firmware, but all it downloads are the patch notes and an disk IMAGE file. No actual firmware to unzip/download/save. I've done this a few different times and nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? Where's the actual firmware update? I'm trying to get 2.2.1.212, so I can then get the latest 2.3.0.32. Thanks!

The Image (.img) files contained in the .ZIP files are the firmware images to be uploaded to your satellites and then your router.
Log onto your router's web gui (normally 192.168.1.1) and go to the advanced administration page.
You will have to upload the .img file when you select the update firmware menu item.
Update each satellite first to version .32
When complete, you will have to update your Router to an intermediate version before updating to the objective/final .32 version.
Make sense?
