I applied this latest firmware and my satellite is no longer connected. Also my attached devices is not working. It seems wonky. I'm not sure how to get my sattelite back nor do I trust what my devic...
Sorry but I find that solution ridiculous. I don't want to spend an hour or whatever resetting up my entire network. If my server gets hosed I fix it I dont format the drive and reinstall everything. Now I know that I cant trust netgear next time an update is released. I'm not sure why they would release such a buggy version.
The reset is a valid and last resort resolution to issue. It does help. I agree, users shouldn't have to resort to a reset. However due to changes in FW code and many various configurations, this leaves room for some odd issues to appear. Resets resolves most of this. Some users don't have to reset and have good experiences with there systems after a FW udpate. Some do no.
Users need to understand as well that you can make a back up of the RBRs configuration and save it to file. Factory reset and setup from scratch to see if things work, or then apply the back up configuration from file. This saves time when working with Orbi and resets and configurations.
I just spend 30 mintutes reconfiguring my RBK50 for router mode from todays AP mode configuration. Since I know the configurations I need, and process to get it all up and running, it doesn't take me much time to manually configure things. I'll probaby do a backup configuration now that it's up and running in router mode for safe keeping.
System IS up and running on v.38.
Good Luck.
