EX6150 Firmware update
Trying to update my extender to the latest firmware version. I do not have a computer or a laptop, just an ipad and an iphone. Suggestions on how to update firmware

I don't like updating over wifi as it tends to have the highest incidences over corruption during updating. But if that's all you have, thats your option.
You can follow the update procedure on page 42 of the manual.
manually download the firmware to your device and extract it on your device.

Remember where you saved it to on your device. then follow the instructions on installing from the manual.
I don't have any IOS devices as I'm not an apple guy so I don't have a device in front of me to walk through it with you. Sorry.
or borrow a laptop from someone you know for the update.
Is the extender having issues?
which version are you on for firmware? many of the updates were just security fixes and not performance improvements. You can check the release notes to see.
