Can't update SXR80 / SXS80 firmware
Just received, and am setting up my new Orbi Pro system which came with firmware version V3.2.1.102 installed. I'd like to update to the latest V3.3.0.122 firmware via the web interface but have bee...
I had the same problem. I solved it by doing it manually which was a little confusing. First you want to update the satellites and they are listed below the router. I only have one satellite, below is my screenshot. In the satellites portion of the list at the bottom select the satellite to be updated and then click the update button. When that was done I came back to this screen and did the Orbi router update which is to "Browse" for the update file and then click the "Upload" button.
It's two steps and you do the last one first. I suppose if you have multiple satelllites they would all appear and you might be able to do them all at once. The docs stress do the satellites first and they are at the bottom section. Not intuitive to go there first.

I was finally able to complete the update yesterday and agree the process is way more confusing than it need be. I also had other issues, like Safari not willing to accept the certificate for the Netgear download site, just a loop where it kept warning about it despite my attempts to accept it. Firefox worked. For this.
As Duane mentioned, the satellite needs to be updated first - if this is documented somewhere I didn't see it. Early on I had tried updating the satellite first but although it was reported as successful, the same old satellite firmware was reported afterward. I don't know if this was the cause but for that first unsuccessful attempt, but I was connected directly to the router. This time, which did work, I was connected directly to the satellite. The interesting thing was that although I was connected to the satellite, the page looked the same as when I was logged in through the router.
Once the satellite was updated, I was able to update the router with no further problems.
Perhaps these comments will help someone else.

Hi
The satellite firmware upgrade function was broken when firmware is < 3.2.5.102. So router firmware upgrade is blocked by satellite. (This firmware release mentioned the problem: https://kb.netgear.com/000063639/SXR80-SXS80-Firmware-Version-3-2-5-102)
The workaround is to manually access satellite's web page and upgrade it.
Afterwards, when new firmware release, you won't hit the problem anymore.
Sorry for the inconvince.

hello can you help me to fix a problem with the vlan id on my netgear orbi srx80?
Im not able to use the netgear orbi sxr80 with my ftth internet 1000mbps. The connection use ppoe and a vlan id which i have configured on the orbi router. The router connects properly to internet, but i cannot use internet on my wired pc but only on wifi, and the internet connection through wifi is stuck at 130 mbps instead of 400-800 mbps (which is the speed that i have on wifi with a netgear orbi router ax 4200) even though immediatelly after the reboot the wireless internet reaches speeds of up 500-800 mbps for a very short period of time before stucking at 130 mbps. What can i do? Is there a way to fix this problem?
I had the same firmware and, consequently, the same issue. Updated the firmware manually by uploading the file to the satellite and then the router, and everything works normally now. Got myself the Orbi Pro SXK80 in Janaury 2022, came with the same firmware as OP.
