Orbi has firmware auto update on by default(can't be turn off) which is why @rinque85 experienced random disconnects since some firmwares are buggy. It is recommended to completely reset the system after each firmware update.
For this price though the Triband Velop deal thats trending right now is probably a better pickup.
I used the web gui to do the updates. Download the latest version from Netgear's website and uploaded via the web gui.
Had a bad experience trying to update one of the satellite via the app. Since then I stuck to web gui.

I have 1 router and 4 satellites. These are great except when theres power outage, itll take my system almost a full day for everything to get back to normal.

Pros:
-coverage
-consistency
-app/interface
Middle of the road:
-Speed compared to low and mid range, but not elite compared to high end now (not that your ISP is gonna push it anyway, ha).
Cons:
-They can be a little annoying to troubleshoot if you get a disconnect issue. (This tends to be few and far between though, haven't had an issue in 1.5 years+)
- I never remember what the colors mean.
