RBR10 firmware not updating
I tried to manually update the satellite of my RBR10 via the web interface to the firmware version 2.7.4.24 (currently it's V2.7.3.22), using RBR10-V2.7.4.24.img, but the system gave the message: "...
And just like that, it all worked.
I tried updating the satellite's firmware via its web interface and this time it worked and rebooted the satellite.
The router's web interface also confirmed the satellite had been updated to the V2.7.4.24
I then manually updated the router via the web interface and it too updated to V2.7.4.24
So all is good now 🙂
CrimpOn, thanks again for your input. Knowing about the RBR vs RBS firmware really helped. Have a great day!!
Hey CrimpOn
Thank you for letting me know all that and about the reset (which I'm not going to try).
All the evidence points to something in the firmware not allowing it to be updated on RBR/S 10:
- the ORBI app says that V2.7.3.22 is the latest version and no new firmware is available;
- the firmware when applied manually (to both the router and the satellite) through the router's web interface is rejected with the message: "This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product."
- the firmware when applied to the satellite through its own web interface does not apply.
- in the past, I have successfully updated the firmware on the router and satellite via the ORBI app.
I think my only hope is if Netgear sees this thread and investigates, or that when new firmware is released, it will work.
Thank you again for your suggestions.

This is a reminder why I do not keep a hammer anyplace close when working on electronics. In the time it takes me to go fetch something to beat it into submission, I cool off and decide, "Nah. Maybe the adult thing is not to beat this thing senseless."
