Orbi Satellite Firmware update

My ORBI RBR50 router is current with latest Firmware, but it appears my SatelliteRBS50 is not.  How do I update it?

U need to update manually. I bought mine yesterday. I used this method for the firmware http://kb.netgear.com/31485/How-do-I-manually-upgrade-firmware-to-my-Orbi-Router?cid=wmt_netgear_org...

There is a tab on the Admin page to do it manually.  First download the correct version for the satellites, RBS50*, then follow the instructions on that tab.

Re: Orbi Satellite Firmware update

I'm having the opposite issue. I just bought my Orbi system a few hours ago. My satalite updated but my router will not. I have even tried to download the .img file manually and browse to that file but it has the same effect. It just stits there with a spinning circle that says "please wait a moment". Been doing that for about 30 min now.
