Upgraded to 12.1.10.12 this morning, from 12.1.8.7, but the only device that updated was the router (971), while both satellites are showing as "No Update Available" and are still on 12.1.8.7. The update was performed via the Orbi app but was also available to me via the web portal, with same results, only the 971 firmware update was available for update. Any ideas how I can update my satellites? I hope I'm not double posting but my first post is not showing up.

Update. After restarting both satellites, the firmware update finally showed up but took forever to download and update. Doing the update manually via firmware files on my computer is 100% better and quicker than doing it via the app. I started the initial update at 10am and it's still updating one satellite at 11:05am, which is ridiculous.
