I would like to know how to receive emails when there is a new firmware available to download and install on my Orbi System
Thank you
Have a nice day

Sadly it doesn't.
Netgear must have been thinking people will have their phone to their face most of the time.:)

you forgot "And running the Orbi App"!!
The sign of a good system is when you DONT have to run their app at all. It just works.

The app doesn't have to be open or running to see the notification. Update reminders appear on the screen just like Apple Store updates. Some things in life still require a small bit of effort.

Indeed.
These days the world has gone all a-Twitter, so old fangled communications like email and, one of my favourites, RSS, are just too 20th century.
Netgear does run an email alerts system, but it is so disorganised that no one would rely on that channel.
Alerts seem to go out when someone feels like running a campaign, rather than being driven by events like the arrival of new firmware.
