Ok after a long tedious process I am updated to version 2.7.2.102 !!
First. The Orbi is retail and in Router mode
I use Apple and either a Chrome and/or Safari browser.
problem #1 a brainfart
When I downloaded the firmware update I did not realize a separate file was embedded in the release notes. One for the router and one for the satellite. My bad
problem #2
Once I knew that i manually updated (satellite, satellite, router) twice. One for each or the previous updates until I was current with 2.1.7.60. a loooong process! Then the system notified me the latest update was available and I was able to online update it. Now I'm current.
Of course this made the system a little unstable. Satellites dropping in and out and several items yet to be discovered. I am confident with a little time it will settle and be fine.
One thing I did notice was for a short time the Satellites were daisy chaining back to the router. Is that a new feature? In the past each satellite always connected to the router direct.
Never satellite-to-satellite-to-router.
Thanks for the help!

the web site says the newest version is 2.7.1.60. I never received notice of ANY new updates and none auto updates
Mine did the same but unlike you I stopped and went about my day. No need to look for trouble
