Manually update the firmware
If a satellite is connected to your router, you can log in to the router to manually upload
the firmware on your satellite.
WARNING:
We recommend that you always update the firmware on your satellite first,
and then update your router. Also, do not update the firmware on your router and
satellite at the same time, and do not update more than one mesh device (router or
satellite) at a time. If you need to update more than one mesh device, wait for the first
mesh device to finish updating before updating your next mesh device.
To manually update the firmware on your router and satellite, follow these high
level steps:
1. Visit netgear.com/support and download the firmware for both your router and
satellite.
