RBR50/RBS50 Firmware update
Hi all,
Newbie to all of this stuff and am looking for some help / advice wrt updating my Orbi system.
It was a Costco buy 1 router (RBR50) & 2 satellites (RBS50).
When I first bought them ...
Yes I prefer manually upgrading myself. ALways have. Yes there was a sequence and yes, satellites should be updated first then the router when you do manually update FW.
Yes, when I manually got everything updated to v.10, I chose to update using the routers UI for both router and satellite when .v16 was available. and let the router push the update for both instead of manually downloading and sending the file.
What browser are you using? It's best to update the router and satellite by manually downloading the FW file to you PC, then using a LAN cable connected PC, update the satellite first then the router.
Can you access the satellite, with a wired PC? If you can, make sure its up to date as well.
After you get everything updated, do a factory reset on the router and satellite and set up from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard at orbilogin.com or 192.168.1.1 in a web browser.
What is the mfr and model# of the ISP modem the router is connected too?

1st i am a novice. had ATT internet issue tonight and mistakenly thought it was an Orbi issue. here is my problem i update the firmware from my phone and it goes throught its thing and says updated, but later it says update aavailable. in reading here it seems the way to do this is manually. so i attemped to follow the instructions on my desktop (ethernet connection), but when i go to ...orbilogin it says i am not connected to the orbi network. i retired on my laptop (wireless) and it says i shouldnt attempt to manually update over wireless because of possible coruption issues. I am stuck any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
when the orbi says update completed it shows a version v2.1.4.16NA. also do i need to update the satallite diferently?
Thanks
Right now my router and satelite are running 2.1.4.10 and they are working great as is. It is saying that the update version is 2.1.4.16. Since my RBR50/RBS5 are working great with 2.1.4.10, I am hesitant to upgrade to 2.1.4.16 with all the problems I have previously read about in another thread. Any thoughts or advice? TIA!
