Hello,
May you check to see if you're able to update the firmware by visiting the admin page via web browser (orbilogin.net).
Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian, I am only able to manually download the updates in orbi login. If I do the auto check, it still list my current firmware and not the new. You know, with all the Netgear routers I've owned, probably 4-5, I have always done the manual updates. I was just hoping that now that I've got the Orbi, that it would do the auto update on the Orbi app. After all, I did update to my current firmware with the Orbi app. So why have things suddenly changed?

OK, finally decided to install manually. It was the only way to get the new firmware. All is well, but using the Orbi App to update firmware is a total joke.
Simply go to Netgears site to download the firmware. Also, glad to see that Speedtest in the Orbi app now works again. Way to go Netgear!
