Thank you to everyone who helped/encouraged me.
I successfully updated to firmware version 12 and I didn't even need help from my high-tech kids and grandkids!!!

By the way, I have a new Lenovo laptop that has Wifi 7 and this Orbi 970 router is supposed to have Wifi 7.

Being able to use both frequencies is a WiFi 7 feature (called MLO), so this is using WiFi 7.
