Blinking Power Light before and after TFTP Firmware Update
Hello everyone, I attempted a firmware update on my router (AC1750 - R6400 V2) but it failed. In an effort to fix the problem I downloaded a new firmware image from here: https://www.netgear.com/...

All models of Orbi which include ethernet ports can be connected over ethernet. (This leave out the least expensive, newest model RBR10 series, becauses the satellites have no ethernet port.
The KEY to this is that the satellites need to be connected to the Orbi router LAN ports. There have been some active discussions about pitfalls when "smart" or "green" ethernet switches are used between the router and satellite.
But, yes. This is exactly how people lucky enough to have ethernet wiring typically run their Orbi systems.
Sometimes it takes a few attempts. I usually use the windows built in client successfully.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
