ORBI RBR50 crashing

Hello everyone,

 

I've bought an ORBI RBR50 a couple of months ago and for some reason after the latest update (V2.5.1.8) the router crashes every second day or so....

 

I've did an reset on the satellite as I was reading this forum and this was a suggestion....now I'm thinking of downgrading to the previous version -> 2.3.5.30

 

Anyone else having this kind of issues ? If yes, any fix available ? Ideas?

 

Thank you!

    It's true 2.5.1.8 is a mess 

    revert back now and stop performing manual updates

    Did you reset the router as well? If not, try this on the RBR...

     

    You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:
    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Voxels-FW-available-for-50-series-Orbi-only-available/m-p/1883615#
    You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.
