orbi rbr 50 can't update firmware manually or using the app
My rbr50 won't udpate with the app, Netgear finally responded via facebook that I needed to manualyl update the firmware. I plugged into the router with a laptop and the advanced tab doesn't show up so I can choose to manually update the firmward. Safari definitely doesnt work. Chrome isn't working either. How do I get to ADVANCED>Administration>Firmware Update?
Thanks.

Re: orbi rbr 50 can't update firmware manually or using the app
Are you able to log into the RBRs web page fully?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is this a bought retail system or is it from an ISP by chance?

The modem is my own and is a netgear CM600

Thank you.

Try loading v2.5.1.8 on the RBR using a wired PC. Use IE11, Edge or FireFox browser for this.

Was the Orbi system bought by your from a retail store or is it from an ISP by chance?

@FURRYe38 I purchased the system myself. I downloaded the update from the Netgear website and connected to the Router with an ethernet cable to my computer. As I was following the instructions to manually update the firmware I go to http://orbilogin.com and enter the user name and password. However, the next step doesn't come up. i.e. Click Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update. This isn't even on the screen.
