RBS50v2 firmware update

I'm trying to update the firmware to the latest one, manually.

But even though I get no error messages it just stays on the old firmware.

Updated RBR50 without issues

    I typically update satellite firmware by connecting directly to the IP of the satellite (same login credentials as the router).

    Then select Firmware Update (bottom menu item).

    Hello zappe,

     

    Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!!!

     

    I understand that you are having issues upgrading your RBS50 manually. The best practice for updating the firmware on an Orbi system is to update the connected satellites first.

     

    Please navigate to the link below for instructions as well as a video tutorial on how to manually upgrade your Orbi mesh system:

    Best,
