- Bring your Orbi router and satellite near to your router and laptop.
- Now remove the ethernet from the orbi router.
- Plug in the power and wait 3-4 minutes.

- In the mean time reset your satellite. Follow step 4.
- Now connect the ethernet cable from your host network to Orbi router's WAN port.
- Connect another ethernet cable from Orbi router to your laptop.
- On your laptop access www.orbilogin.com or http://192.168.1.1
- Now follow the instructions and complete the setup.
- On firmware upgrade page cancel the process.
- Download latest firmware Zip file and extract it on desktop.

- Click Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update.
- Select Manual Update.
- Browse Firmware from desktop.

- You can do the same for Orbi satallite.
NOTE- You can always do the hard 30 seconds reset if it gives you the same problem.
Great information. However the satellite is not being detected by the router due to the FW is not on the same version.

- You are right FURRYe38 that's why I suggested to use Ethernet connection from satellite to PC just like the orbi router.
Manually accessing and setting it up will resolve the issue.
