Orbi Firmware v2.5.0.38
Hello Orbi Community,
As you may be aware, there has been a new firmware version available for the RBR50 & RBS50. To access the firmware version, please use the links below:
RBR50: v2.5....
Yes these questions are necessary. Each user has different configurations and experiences which we don't know about fully unless we ask some specific questions.
Like, "Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?" I and others are not seeing these issues you post about with v.38 as we apply FW updates manually and reset and setup from scratch.
I have asked others as well to factory reset there system and setup from scratch and this has resolved there problems. A factory reset and setup from scratch is a last resort and valid step to see if problems will be resolved.
You can downgrade as well and thats your choice. However you may run into this issue again upon next FW update the NG comes out with.
Good Luck.
Factory reset should be viewed as a last resort. Understand problems with firmware releases before hand.
- I have the same issues. My Orbi was the best router I've had, now its among the least reliable. I lose connection so much I often disable wifi on my cell. I've done the factory reset. It made no difference. There is something wrong with the firmware.
Revert back to what was working for you then.

I really hope that Netgear figures out what is causing problems for some people so future updates don't have this issue. I'd hate to not be able to have a critical update (security) because it breaks my internet.
