New Firmware for RBE971 Router, but not for the Satellite?

Question

My Orbi RBE971 indicates that an update is available. However, it says there's no update for the RBE970 satellite. Is this normal? I have always seen them update together to new firmware versions.

Also is weird that I don't see any information here about this new firmware.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Both should be available. I know both are on the public site for manual install. I"d manually update the satellite first. Then let the router update

Find both RBS and RBR FW here:
New - RBE970 Series v12.1.11.15 Firmware Release - WW Region | NETGEAR Communities
&nbsp;
If you manually update, follow this guide:&nbsp;
Procedure to Manually Firmware Update Orbi and Nighthawk Mesh systems. | NETGEAR Communities
&nbsp;
Can try enabling Auto Check and then reboot the system from the RBRs web page, then check for FW and see if the RBS gets something.&nbsp;
