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

Re: How do you update the RBS750 Satellite firmware from the Orbi app?

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-ax

Has 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.

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!

the username/password for the satellite should be the same as the one to log into the router.

Yes, I've tried that, yet nothing happens. I click the button and the two fields go empty and no error message or anything. Nothing happens. Ugh!

Thanks! That worked. Why it did not use the Router log-in and password is odd. Satellite is now updated. Thanks again.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
