Update The Router Firmware - NETGEAR Orbi User Manual

Update the Router Firmware

The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message at
the top of the genie pages when new firmware is available. You can respond to that message
to update the firmware, or you can check to see if new firmware is available and update your
product.
To check for new firmware and update your router:

1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The router finds new firmware information if any is available and displays a message
asking if you want to download and install it.
6. Click the Yes button.
The router locates and downloads the firmware and begins the update.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load
a new page. Do not turn off the router.
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The upgrade process typically takes
about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you must
reconfigure the router after upgrading.
