RBR50 Drops after firmware update
Hello, I just updated the firmware in my RBR50 to V2.7.2.104. After this, my internet connection frequently drops. I didn't have this issue before the firmware update. The update was successful. ...

Netgear/Orbi - you've got a problem it appears. My Orbi Wifi has been SOLID for 3 years up until the past two weeks and the latest firmware (V2.7.2.104)got installed. :-( :-( :-( YES, if I restart and reset the RBR50 router, it will reconnect but then within a couple of hours, it will disconnect. NOT GOOD!!!
My family and I am really getting frustrated!! HELP!!!!
V2.7.2.104 is faulty.....revert back and wait until things get sorted out
Yeah, it's got to be the firmware. This newest version is completely buggy. Everything was perfectly fine until I updated the firmware. It's not in any other settings. How do I revert back to a previous firmware version?

Good luck

How do I revert back to a previous firmware version?Before reverting the firmware, you should try to disable "Traffic-Meter" -> a know bug with the firmwarfe (not only 2.7.2.104 !!)
Disable "Traffic-Meter", see:
Disabling the Traffic Meter on the app, seems to have taken care of the periodic dropping of service. :-)
NG is working on a fix. Theres seems to be a beta v105 out there that someone got from NG. Seems to solve all this. Hopefully NG will get it released soon.
Thanks for letting us know.
