Haven't been on here lately but on a whim thought I would check to see if Netgear has updated any firmware. I left shaking my head wondering what the heck is going on these days with Netgear. I...
I believe the URL previously listed in this thread is the correct firmware source for the Orbi 970 series.

I find it hard to understand that the system is sold as the Orbi 970 Series with its RBE971 router and the RBE970 Satellites all listed under the caption as RBE972S. The firmware for both the RBE970 and RBE 971 is listed as Firmware Version 9.13.2.1 yet the Version 9.13.2.1 for the router is 56.4 MB and Version 9.13.2.1 for the satellite is 34.7 MB.
It is normal for router firmware to be larger in size than satellite firmware.
The router has more tasks to accomplish, and thus more code.
