- I became aware of the latest firmware while browsing this forum. Neither the app nor the web interface indicated an available update. I downloaded the files via my computer and performed a manual update via the web interface -- one satellite first, then the other, then on to the router. (RBK50) In the past, I have had updates pushed out (only once); notices both on the web and app of firmware updates available; and updates that I found were released via this forum which I've manually installed (the latter seems to be the most frequent way I have updated firmware). Through all ways, I have never had the slightest issue with downloading and installing updated firmware.

this is the error I see in the boot log:
kernel BUG at /home/release/orbi-maintrunk-buildroot-20191028125258.git/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7_uClibc-1.0.14_eabi/linux-ipq806x/qca-wifi_dni-10.4-g0.1.453.110-unified-profile/qca-wifi_dni-10.4-g0.1.453.110/os/linux/../../qca_ol/../cmn_dev/htc/htc_recv.c:620!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Then a lot of debug lines, then:
ath_dev: driver unloaded
ath_tx99: driver unloaded
ath_rate_atheros: driver unloaded
ath_hal: driver unloaded
I have a RBR50, and now I don't have anything to replace it quickly!
Please help!
Factory reset?
and we'll file this away in the I shouldn't have upgraded file

I did the 30-30-30 reset, and loaded the latest firmware via TFTP. same issue.
Then did it with the latest 2.6 firmware, and the same happened... I'm guessing something bogus on the latest 2.7 trashed the network hardware?
Is there a way to do another kind of factory reset? a lower level one?

I updated to V2.7.2.104 from V2.7.2.102. Did factory reset and setup twice. Both times I noticed that my router and satellites were transmitting NETGEAR-guest ssid unsecured. I have reverted back to V2.7.2.102 and my issue went away. I did manual updates from web gui. Has anyone else seen or noticed this? Please let me know, thanks. Netgear please look into this matter.

-> no problem here, all settings are still here and working correctly, but I have not facory resetted the router
-> why not configure it, as you have resetted it anyway, perhaps this is the normal behaviour for the guest network if not configured
