May have uploaded zip file to Orbi
Hello, I recently manually updated my BRB852 router and satellite firmware via the web interface (it was not updating automatically). All went well, but I initially (inadvertently) uploaded the sate...

The Manual Update page is always supposed to look the way it shows in your screenshot. I don't see anything wrong. That page never shows the RBR because the top section's Browse and Update buttons are for the RBR while the bottom section (with the list of checkboxes) is for manually updating any RBSs - You check the RBS you want to update and press the Update button, this takes you to a different webpage to perform the actual update.
For comparison see screenshots I've attached of my Online Update and Manual Update tabs. I have 3 satellies with my RBR. The Online Update tab lists RBR + each RBS, whereas the Manual Update tab only shows the list of RBSs and therefore always has one less rows.

Can you upload a screenshot of this? Something is very off if you notice this in different browsers, so there may be something else going on here.

I don't see anything indicating there is a .zip file waiting to be uploaded in your screen shot.

I inadvertently selected the zip file when trying to manually update the RBS. Unsure if the zip file uploaded or the actual firmware file was extracted, but either way you can see the firmware waiting to be applied despite having already been done. Any way to remove the update waiting to be applied, which you can see in the attachment?
Thanks.

The attached picture doesn't show any messages. RBS living room and it's version. Nothing else.
Looks ok from the picture.
