RBR40 Blinking White Light
At about 3pm today I started experiencing connection issues on some devices, so AI decided to reboot the RBR40. It will not reconnect to my Verizon modem . It remains in a pulsating white light. ...
The firmware release should not cause this problem. There should be no harm in updating the firmware, but I am not confident that would solve whatever has gone wrong.
If you want to update the firmware, download the router and satellite files from the Netgear support site to the laptop

- Extract the *.img files from the router and satellite download.
- Connect the laptop web browser to each satellite using the satellite IP address.
- Use the Firmware Update menu item to update firmware on all satellites.
- Finally, connect to the router and manually update the router firmware.
It would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the configuration before starting any updates.
Also would not hurt to make two checks:
- Does the cable between router and modem appear solidly connected?
- If you connect to the router web interface using the laptop what does it show about the WAN connection?
