Orbi satellite manual firmware upgrades not working
When I try to manually update my satellites to install the hot patch, I can't log in to the satellites using the same login as my router. The boxes that pop up is http://192.168.1.3/fwUpdate.htm and http://192.168.1.5/fwUpdate.htm
I also tried the default Netgear login/password (admin/password) with no luck.
The dialogue I get when I click cancel is:
401 Unauthorized
Access to this resource is denied, your client has not supplied the correct authentication.
I assume there must be some sort of "hidden" password if the Router password is not passed through? Any advice/suggestions?

I reset the satellites (holding the reset pin while power is connected), added them back to the network, and the password now match, so I was able to manually upgrade the FW.
