Is there an executable one can use to do the upgrade? I'm unable to access the admin page via web or connect to my orbi via app (internet is working fine). Not really of the mindset of wanting to reset my router and lose current configurations.
No, its not recommended to downgrade FW. Can brick the system.
Are you having problems? If so, give more details on what your having issues with and we'll try and help you out.

- I'm not looking to downgrade firmware but upgrade it in hopes that it fixes my issue.
Im unable to connect to the admin webpage for the router. It presents connection refused.
The orbi app also cannot connect to it.
Doing some reading, it looks like some either have had to do a factory reset or send it in for repair.
I'd like to avoid a factory reset as my configuration contained a lot of custom settings. If there's an executable one can run on windows or Mac to upload the firmware file, that would be nice.Do not use the Orbi app. Use the manual FW update method mentioned at the head of this post thread.
Review this for Apple devices and Orbi app:

Connection is refused and the page cannot be displayed.
