Roll your firmware back to an eariler version and stop doing manual updates.
I searched downloads for my RBK50 v2 system and the only firmware available to download is the dreaded v2.5.0.38. Can you provide a link to previous versions? I performed a complete reset of my Orbi system (as suggested) and the results arent much better, in fact it seems that the wireless range is not as good as it was prior to this latest firmware update and I have encountered some wifi blackspots in my house again. I need to get this back to a workable state, thank you.
If a earlier version is not available on the NG download area, I'm not sure where to look. Maybe other can chime in.
- Go to the orbi (rbk50) download page and click on " previous versions.". They should all be there
I have separate SSID through telenet. Doesn't work in the latest firmware.
Why Netgear!
