what is the latest firmware version V1.8.0.6 or 1.5.0.12
hi i just got 2 orbi sets today, i actually plan to install only 1 router and 2 satellites (but satellites were not available for sale on their own in switzerland) I am confused about the firmware ...
actually found the solution
the trick is to ignore the upload option on the interface, choose update directly and upload through the pop screen that appears afterwards.
seems to work :)
in my case it is offered for the router
the firmware check doesn't work for the satellite. it says "please wait" it has been in this status for 2 hours
I am wondering if i can download it manually for the satelllite and if somebody has a link.
On the netgear website i was not able to find it
Sigswi,
Update the Host (Router) to the new version. Manually update the satellites to firmware version 1.5.0.12. Then the host will push the new firmware to the satellites. My satellites were delivered with firmware 1.2 something and would not update via the Host (router) until I updated their firmware manually to 1.4.0+. Then, Success.
Hope it helps and regards,
Thanks guys, manually updating satellite to previously available firmware updated it to latest.
LOL though.
