If you can get it connected to the RBR or connect it via ethernet to the RBR, log into it's web page and get it updated manually.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

yes I'm extracting first otherwise it won't even process. I'm going to the advanced tab, going to firmware, and then clicking the manual tab. I'm following the video that Netgear has on how to do it. It's just not working. It says that it's the wrong file which I think it is because it is for the RBR50V2 and mine is not a V2

not sure how that will change the file that's downloading but it's worth a try. Thanks. I guess while I'm at it I'll clear cache and browsing history.

FW for the 50 series is the same for both v1 and v2 models.
Is your Orbi system a retail Orbi system or something that came from and ISP? Like Verizon?
