Netgear heeft nieuwe firmware uitgebracht voor zijn Orbi-routers en -satellites met 2.1.2.18 als versienummer. Orbi is een wifisysteem dat werkt met één router en eventueel één of meer satellites die niet met andere satellites communiceren, in dat opzicht is het dus geen meshwifisysteem. Het systeem is gericht op een makkelijke installatie van een volledig dekkend wifinetwerk thuis, zonder dat daarvoor diepgaande netwerkkennis nodig is. Deze firmware-update is geschikt voor de RBS20-, RBS40-, RBS50- en SRS60-satellites en de RBR40-, RBR50- en SRR60-routers die ook in verschillende kitsamenstellingen geleverd worden. De bijbehorende lijst met veranderingen ziet er als volgt uit:
