Hello, I want the Orbi router and satellite to be fully updated firmware-wise prior to the tech arriving for our new FIOS installation.  When the Orbis arrive to my house, can I update the firmware ...

Thanks!  So, I can just take the units of the box and follow the firmware update directions at my house without going through the "setup" process?

 

Also, when I turn them off and take them with me for install at the office, the firmware will be permanently "remembered"?
