How do you update the RBS750 Satellite firmware from the Orbi app?
How do you update the RBS750 Satellite firmware from the app (NOT the web portal 192.168.1.1)? The router is an easy process, but not the satellite. Thanks

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/bd-p/en-home-orbi-axHas to be updated on the RBS web page itself or from the RBRs web page.
Thank you.

Here's how.

I wouldn't recommend it though. Reason why is that when we see corrupt firmware issues, it tends to be when people updated over wifi or when using the app. For the most part it works great but again, when we see issues, thats usually how it was updated.
