Joining the crowd of RBR50/RBS50 which broke after firmware upgrade
I upgraded the firmware on my router around a day ago, and have repeatedly had the internet cut out. Wifi would keep functioning (you could be connected), but there was no internet behind the wifi. ...
I've now gone around 24 hours without the internet cutting out (previously it was going out every few hours, and 100% was out when I'd wake up in the morning). I'm going to call this a "fix" until I learn otherwise.
Downgraded both the router and satellite to 2.3.5.30.https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK50/RBR50-V2.3.5.30.zip

For those 2 files: You install the RBR firmware on the router, and the RBS firmware on the satellite.
You go to the IP address of the router to update it's firmware, then look at devices list, find the IP address of the satellite(s), go to that ip address in your browser (log in), and update the firmware on the satellite.
Easy peasy for even non-technical people.
Hello, Community. Just checking back to let you know that, after I had one more outage yesterday around 4:00 PM, I following the insturctions:
F) Modify NTP Settings:
1-Uncheck the "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time"
2-Change your timezone "east" one hour to accommodate turning off the auto DST.
and
Also power OFF the ISP modem and RBR for 30 seconds then back ON after you make the NTP change.
This morning, I woke up and all my devices were still able to access the internet. Thank you so miuch for being so helpful!! Have a great day.
Hello, Everyone.
A follow up to this. I was able to change the DST and time zone settings back to correct and I have had stable connections since by turning OFF the Traffic Meter feature in the app.
I am running firmware version 2.7.2.104 on my RBR50.
Thank you.
