BUG REPORT: Orbi RBS40V firmware issue still unresolved...
Hello again, Months ago I reported an issue with a typo in one of the files in both of my RBS40V Satellites. After several rounds of messages with someone here from Netgear, they stopped replying ...
This is also happening with an RBR850. Looks like a defect, where Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml is a template and the expressions aren't being evaluated, e.g.
<serialNumber><%ap_serialNumber();%></serialNumber>
Aside from not providing the PNP info, the document also fails XML validation.

Usually a bug, that gets reported, can be duplicated by everyone. I don't see an issue with dozens of 750 and 850 routers I maintain.
- A bug does not always manifest in every use case. Are you using any media servers? Have you checked their logs to see if you’re getting errors?
As was previously pointed out (more clearly than my posts), “Aside from not providing the PNP info, the document also fails XML validation.”
This is the root cause. And it is affecting people where their network has at least one device that references the Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml file.
I had been asked to provide logs, but they allowed my support date to pass without supplying the email address to submit them to. And now no one from netgear will respond.
At this point I’m done with Netgear’s products. Support is important to me. I’ll be selling this setup and replacing it with something else.
Thanks for everyone’s input.
