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
Try admin and password?
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.
I find manually updatng Orbi systems is the best way:

When I try to do the manual method it does not like the 192.168.1.2 password and I can't seem to find a way to change it. Plus this is the odd thing as I see one satellite updated and the other did not (shown below). It's weird. What do you make of this?
Is .1.2 the IP address of the RBS your trying to access or the RBR? RBR is usually .1.1
If the RBS try using admin and password. However it should be same as what you applied on the RBR.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But it is trying to access 1.2 as shown below. Not sure if the screen shot loaded or not. Tried three times. Ugh!
