First time loss of connection rbr50 after update to 2.0.0.74
System purchased in july. Connected with only defaults. No guest Network. Connected to main netgear router n750. Double NAT. System updated automatically to 1.12.0.18. All worked perfectly. In Augus...
I'm getting the same thing with two PCs which are hardwired to the network (through a netgear 1Gb switch). I'm working along on the first PC then my wife starts to work on the second PC. Then all comes to a halt. I'm not having any such issues with a Netgear Nighthawk X6S (AC4000) in place of the Orbi (RBK50). I've been having such issues with the Orbi since I got it in February 2017. I've updated the firmware for each version since then. This last time (2.0.0.74) I did a factory reset, installed the new firmware, and did minimal configuration using the Netgear app.
This is very frustrating. I'm going to contact Amazon and see if I can get my money back. This device cost way too much to be needing to spend such time on it. I'm fairly network savvy, so I don't believe that it is me. This last experiment (with the 2.0.0.74 firmware) would seem to prove this.
