   I know nothing, but there is a whole Orbi forum:

      https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/bd-p/Orbi

Also, an Orbi "support" page with a "Firmware and Software Downloads"
link (which is where I'd probably start):

Hello angularone

 

The firmware is updated automatically.

I understand that in orbi mode. But since I set it up under the att U-verse as an Ssdi guest it does not show under orbi app. So how does one keep firmware updated?

Re: orbi and U-verse how to keep firmware updated

As said already, the Orbi updates firmware automatically, with no user input required.  This, of course, requires Orbi to be on a network with Internet access.  I have no idea what an "Ssdi guest" is, but If you have Orbi  on a closed network with no Internet access, which is unlikely, then you will need to manually update the firmware by downloading the ffirmware from Netgear onto a PC, logging into Orbi with a web browser, and uploading the file from your PC.
