Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

For weeks I am not able to update my Orbi system. First it told me that there are no updates and now it tells me for RBR that there is update but not for RBS.
I tried also a manual update but Orbi refused to update telling me that something is wrong with files. I downloaded them from the link supplied here.
I mean, after all, it is not big deal because my Orbi system works just fine, but it is strange what's going on ...

Did you try and bring the RBS to near or same room as the RBR then check again for FW updates?
What the distance between the RBR and RBS?
Try Firefox or Opera to manually download and install the FW files.
Be sure you update the RBS first then RBR lastly if you go this route.

I had the same issue yesterday, the RBS showed an available update, but the RBR did not. I turned both of them off, turned them back on again, and then logged into the web interface from a browser (Brave, in my case) that had never been logged into the Orbi. I am not sure if any of this made any difference, but in any case both showed available updates after this, and hitting the "Update All" button performed according to expectation.

No issues to speak of here but something I have noticed regarding this latest firmware update:
Not as many issues as in the past. Noticed that this release only generated 3 pages of issues whereas prior recent releases generated quite a few more pages of complaints and issues.
Just a minor observation of mine.
Cheers!
