Satellite Update Question

Sorry, I guess I was not specific enough in my question.  My RBS webpage already does show the firmware downloaded and ready for the two satellites and for the main router.  There is only one option to update however - the button that says "Update All".  There is no way of knowing what will happen when clicking that button.  Will it apply the satellite updates first as so many here say to do?  Then apply the router update?  How can I be sure to apply the satellite update first?

There are two ways to update firmware on the Orbi:

1. Click the "Update" button and let the Orbi do it however it does it, or
2. Download the actual image files from the Netgear support site, unpack to extract the ".img" files, then
   * Connect to each satellite home page (by IP address) and click on "Firmware Update", then
   * Connect to the router web management, navigate to the Firmware Update page, and click on the "Manual Update" tab.

Following method 2 is (a) MUCH less convenient than letting the Orbi "do its thing", and (b) gives the user total control over which firmware is updated on which Orbi.
