      Just download the file from NG support site for your model Orbi. Just the router only.

      I would disconnect ALL devices accept for 1 wired PC. Then using IE11 or FF, send the FW file using the routers web page.

      After it applies, do a factory reset and then set up the router from scratch and configure it. Run a quick ethernet connected test with the PC to check speeds.
