Hello arn0ld ,

 

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

 

I understand that you have been experiencing network connectivity issues between your Orbi router and Orbi satellite on firmware version 2.7.4.24. Before blocking the auto update process please consider our most updated firmware for the RBK50 system version 2.7.5.4. 


Please navigate to the link below for the download file for your RBR50 (Be sure to update your Orbi satellite before the router):

For step-by-step instructions on how to manually update your RBK50 please navigate to the link below:

Thank to Kevin and Crimpon for support,

 

I have updated my RBK50 system to 2.7.5.4. Hope that it can run stable, i will feedback after fewdays.

 

Why don't netgear open disable auto update for RBK50 system. There are alot of user got same problem like me on 2.7.4 firmware version. The rbk50's hardware don't have any problem, just the version of firmware let the satellite work not stable
