Auto or manual update of my Orbi RBR/RBS50 firmware
There's a firmware update available for my Orbi system. It's available for download but not for auto update. I would like to install it but have never done a manual update of this system so I'm a bit wary of doing it.
Is a manual update of this Orbi system as reliable and problem free as auto update has been, or should I wait for it to come through for auto update and how long may that take?

Re: Auto or manual update of my Orbi RBR/RBS50 firmware
I much prefer the manual update versus the auto-update.
I've seen more issues with corrupt firmware updates on here because of auto-update, updating over wifi, or updating via the app.
So I usually recommend people use the manual update option and be hardwired into their devices.
Tends to be the safest way possible

I used to do manual updates on my Nighthawk routers but never on the Orbi and it has worked perfectly well. I am a bit scared of the router and satellites setup and how manual update will affect that. I will have a go at it though. I've seen that I should do the satellites first and then the router.

I've done manual on my Orbi's for quite a while. I've never had issues with manual updates and it tends to go pretty smoothly.
