It is rather unlikely that an Orbi satellite is attempting to download files from anywhere but Netgear's firmware site.
However, it is easy to reset the satellite to factory.
Stick the end of a paperclip into the tiny Reset hole next to the power cord until the Power LED turns amber and begins to blink.
This will reset the satellite and you can then sync it to the router again.
