When you state that you have two Orbi 970 systems, I really don't know exactly what you are describing, an RBE971 router and/or an RBE970 satellite or some combination of one or both. Regardless check out the URL https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbe972s You will find the latest Firmware Version 9.13.2.1 but note that the SAME firmware version is a different download for the RBE971 Router (56.4 MB) as compared to the firmware download for the RBE970 Satellite (34.7 MB). I would hope this clears up your situation but I am not placing any bet in the prediction market!!
