    The original Orbi firmware was created assuming that the size of the firmware file would never grow larger than a certain size.

    When Netgear introduced new features, the firmware went over that limit.

    A special firmware version was released with the only purpose being to increase the size limit.

    After that version is installed, any later release can be installed:
