Orbi RBR750 satelite update without ethernet
I have an Orbi Mesh system RBR750 with two satellites. In the orbi app the are red in the device manager. There RBR750's firmware is current but the two satellites have dashes where the firmware version should be. (I assume RBS- means satellite).
How do you update the satellites without ethernet?
I had this similar issue over a year ago with no resolution.
There we go. Yay.
I'd disable the Auto Update feature to be sure the RBR doesn't get updated from NG. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Are they appearing in the RBRs web page as connected or disconnected?
IF they can be ethernet connected, connected them that way and use the IP address seen on the RBRs web page for each RBS and log into the RBS web page and update FW there manually:
Remember, the RBS need to be updated first before the RBR, then RBR lastly.
RBR=router
RBS=satellite?
The router firmware is current.
I think I need to update the satelites but do know how. I have the app but it doesn't follow the instructions in the manual: there is NO ADVANCED button or section.
How do I do this? I have an Imac, MBP and a windows box downstairs.
satellites off and on

I arrived at a login but I could not login.
admin
password did not work
The IP address would be different for the RBS if ethernet connected.
If there connected via ethernet and using there assigned IP address, log in may appear and admin and password should work if they don't sync. If they sync and have good signal, then use the same log in as you use on the RBR.
