Sorry for the typo......that was " Why Didn't NetGear just say that. BS Degree and never a great speller, but can figure really well. lol Would have corrected it but unable to find where and or how after posting.
Thank you for your Patience everyone.

Try using a web browser instead of some (unspecified) "the app"? Try
reading the instructions? Try following previous advice?
I have read the instructions online. In the app it says "update successful" then the next screen says "Connecting to Orbi" which does not do and the update is not on the router, which it does not, and then shows " 'update'.

amusement?Thank you for your help. WOW, out of trial and error, and most of the help pages gave good information about the file .img.
Online at orbilogin.net on line took a chance and just uploaded the disk image. Guess what, the router updated. Why Netgear just did say to do that in the first place is beyond me not to mention it never worked in the app.
A lot of consumers are just consumers and NOT IT Administrators or can read tech jargon. Netgear, speak in plain English!
Actually, was surprised that it worked!
Again thank you for your time.
Good to you from Las Vegas, Nevada
