Strongly advise to use the web interface of the RBR50 instead of the smartphone app if you proceed.

The firmware update was successful since my WiFi network is up and running after applying it using the updated Orbi iPhone app. I just cannot login using the correct password, serial number and secuity question answers.

Wire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in for 15 seconds then let go. Power OFF the ISP modem for 30 seconds than back on. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate on top of the RBR, then log in to orbilogin.com using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.

Thanks, that worked. Both the RBK50 and RBS50 now have current firmware but the RBW30 will NOT install, after downloading, even using Manual upload.
