hi all, if I have not updated firmware in a while, do you have to update firmware in stages or can you update right into the latest firmware? thanks...wifiblues
- Jul 05, 2020Hi Furrye38,
I purchased an orbi43 on eBay and when it arrives, I will find out the firmware version. It could be up to date. I’m not sure. If it is prior to v210, where do you find the intermediate version? The RBR is the router and the RBS is the satellite? Thanks.

What version of FW is your system on currently? If it's older versions prior to v210 then there will be a intermediate version that needs to be applied on the RBR before doing to latest version. You don't have to do this with the RBS. Just the RBR.
Always update the RBS first then the RBR lastly.
If you choose to do this, manually download the FW files and use a wired PC and web browser to make the upgrade.
