After upgrading to an intermidiate firmware (1.11.0. 20) from 1.2.0.6, I was able to install the latest 2.2.1.210
Thanks!

Re: I can’t seem to be able to upgrade my orbi firmware from 1.2.0.6 to the latest version manually
Pay close attention to the firmware files you are uploading to the router and satellites. There are two files. There is one file for the router "RBR50" and a different file for the satellites "RBS50". There is no firmware file for an RBK53.
If that's not your problem, you might need to upload intermediate versions of the software because version 1.2.0.6 is very old. You might need to load 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5, etc. first.

Yes, I was aware there are 2 files: 1 for the router and 1 for the satellites. I'll try the intermediate updates and see what happens later

@st_shaw, The solution is great for those of us with some technical facility, but may be a bit too complicated for many of the home users in the target market.
i wonder if the wizards at Netgear could script this two step solution into something that the auto update feature could perform?

Maybe NETGEAR could solve this, but I would think this is an infrequent case. Auto updates have been enforced on Orbi since the beginning, so you have to wonder how this user ended up with such old firmware.
