Re: How to easily update the firmware to the RBS50?
This post identifies two different Orbi satellites: RBS50 and RBS50Y (outdoor).
Both can be updated the same way:
- Download the desired firmware from the Orbi support site:
https://www.netgear.com/support/
by entering the model number in the search box, then selecting "Downloads" - Unpack the *.img file from the *.zip file
- Connect to the web site of the satellite using a browser, as in http://<ip of satellite>
example: if the satellite IP is 192.168.1.4, then browse to http://192.168.1.4 - Enter the Orbi web admin credentials ("admin" and password)
- Select the bottom menu item: Firmware Update
- Browse to the location of the unpacked *.img file
- After a few minutes, the firmware will be updated and the satellite will restart.
