Thank you for your prompt response. No problem downloading the information to update the firmware for the new satellite but as it has not connected to the router when I go to manual update it will only display the original satellite Orbi. I note that the new satellite Orbi is running on V1.12.0.18 and my system is running on V2.1.4.16 but how do I get the firmware to update when it willnot display.
