In an effort to offer a stable performance, to make use of the latest features, and to get better security, it is highly recommended to always keep your Orbi WiFi system updated. Besides, an Orbi firmware update is nearly uncomplicated once you find the right starting point. If you have just completed the Orbi setup and logged in to the dashboard, then updating the system is a matter of just a few steps.

First, go to www.orbilogin.com using any browser on your device that is connected to the network. The Orbi login page will be displayed to you. Provide your log-in information so that you can access the admin interface. After you have logged in, click on the Advanced tab and then go to either the Administration or Firmware Update section. You can either manually check for new firmware or let the system search for it automatically.

If a newer version is found, then press "Update All" to begin the upgrade. Do not turn off your router or satellites during the Orbi firmware update process as this could lead to... interrupted installation. After the update has been completed, the system may restart on its own.

If the automatic update fails to work, then you can perform a manual one by obtaining the firmware file from the Netgear support site and then uploading it through the same firmware area. Just ensure that the file is for your specific Orbi model to avoid compatibility problems.

An Orbi that has up-to-date firmware will give you the best WiFi coverage, highest network security, and easy device connections. Updating the firmware is the key to performance that lasts over time, be it solving a sluggish internet problem or repositioning your mesh network after the initial Orbi wifi setup.

Orbi firmware that is regularly updated ensures that your smart home is working flawlessly and reliably - therefore, let firmware checks be a part of your routines!
