Firmware Update Instructions:

The Orbi Outdoor (RBS50Y) uses different firmware versions depending on which wireless system you use. As of 2.3.5.22, RBS50Y detects whether the Orbi Router is an Orbi Pro system, and if so, automatically updates to Orbi Pro-compatible firmware.


If the firmware version is showing 0.0.0.0 on RBS50Y, the system is preparing to update to the Orbi Pro-compatible firmware


To update the Orbi Outdoor firmware from the local web interface, follow the instructions in your product’s user manual. To find your user manual, visit https://www.netgear.com/support/ enter your model number in the search box, and click Documentation on the product page. We highly recommend updating the satellite firmware first, and then updating the router firmware. 


If the Orbi Pro is connected to the Insight cloud, perform a firmware update through the firmware schedule policy, or manually perform a firmware update using the Insight app or local web interface. 


After updating to the latest firmware, make sure to update your version of the NETGEAR Insight app for the best functionality and user experience.
