Is there any reason you can't do the update OTA instead though, as that'll save reinstalling everything?

Some how my N900 fails to connect to my Wifi network when my laptop and PS3 can. So NSU is my only option currently. Is there some other way to update? Maybe download the update file and transfer it to my N900? Thanks.

use the wiki for updating your firmware..
You can download the firmware files and flash your phone with the flasher tool.
You will loose all data so please backup all the data before you flash your phone.
