It WILL go through the motions like it is going to update and then when “ready” again and I login with IP again, it’s still set at the durn FW V9.10.0.2
I plan on just returning for a replacement via Amazon. My other Orbi satellite and router are on the most current V9.12.5.3 and updated no problem so must be a bum unit

Ya I'd get that RBS back to Amazon and see if you can find another RBS.
Only other way you could try is maybe see if the TFTP functioned worked to force load newer FW on it, however not sure if that would work either. RBS should take a FW load from it's self service web page but if it's not, something is faulty with this RBS.
