Orbi Satellite Firmware Update question
Can the satellite be updated manually by uploadinf the firmware through a wireless connection? When I try to check for updates it keeps sating stuck on Please wait. In the instructions for updating it manually, it states never to upload the firmware wirelessly for the router, however it does not say that specifically in the section for the satellite. Is it safe to downloand, unzip, update the satellite that way? If not, does anyone have any suggestions to get the update to show? Thank you.

I suspect the same warning applies to both the Router and the Satellite. I did have trouble myself with the automatica update, so I manually updated everything (I did the Router first, and then the Satellites). I didn't bother reading the instructions, so I missed the disclaimer about not using wireless (I used wireless to update all 3 units).
Couldn't you just plug an ethernet cable into the back of each unit and do them one at a time?Good luck!
Thanks, I don't have a ethernet port on my MacBook Air so thats why I was contemplating it. I think I will get the adapter through so I can plug it directly in instead.
