How do I manually upgrade firmware on my Orbi router using orbilogin.com?
Thank you for your patience,

I watch these threads and therefore I am a laggard when it comes to updating. Currently,not experiencing connectivity or performance issues so I avoid the arrowsinthe butt and wait.
BTW, does anyone really have performance functionality issues when reported D/L drops by 2-300mbps? I can only get 100 MBs service here and can run 2 4K video streams and a couple of audio streams while my Linux server is backing up 150g to a local Linux server.
The Orbi is outperforming the Nighthawk it replaced.
The reality is the internal speed test error is going to make a lot of people think the update is broken when only the speed test itself is broken. Because wireless speeds vary so much and are often significantly lower than router/modem capabiity and wired speeds are often limited by 1 Gigabit Ethernet hardware, people like me use the internal speed test to make sure I am getting the Gigabit throughput that I am paying Xfinity for. 1200+Mbs is available to a significant number of Xfinity customers if you have a LAG-capable cable modem. I routinely speed test to 1350+ Mbs (Xfinity provisions 1200Mbs service at 1400Mbs). When you have to update dozens of devices every time Apple pushes a SW release, you really do notice the difference. Right now, the internal speed test doesn't get much past 600+Mbs. Like others on this forum, that result sent me down a rabbit hole chasing a problem that really didn't exist at the endpoints, which is where the speed counts.
User will need to verify speeds using external speed test apps like Ooklas installable speed test app to verify there speeds are good. Most have already mentioned this and that the internal speed test app differs. As long as the external apps show to spec speeds, you'll be ok.
