RBR850 We can't find your Orbi
Today my internet connection suddenly dropped while I was working. Upon troubleshooting, I found that the Orbi app, and 192.168.1.1 from my PC, are both no longer working. The app says "We can't find...

Hello Orbi Family!
Thank you all so very much for sharing your experience with us! As previously mentioned, based on the feedback we received after deploying the first patch to a select group of customers, we learned that we had an opportunity to improve the next interaction of the patch. I am happy to say we have tested this patch internally and start to roll it out to those of you who have already submitted your serial numbers. This group includes those that were in the first round so that your Device List and Armor services will be restored without any intervention on your side.
Update: If you've private messaged me and have not received a response, I promise I'm not ignoring you! đ As you can imagine, I have received quite a lot of messages. To ensure the patch is pushed out to as many of you as possible, I am focusing on grabbing the information and getting it in the hands that need it to push the update.
Update: We have begun to roll out this patch in a phased approach. Several of you should have received the patch overnight. You can check to see if you're system received the patch by going to http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm and confirming the SeAL value shows -2. If you are unable to access this page it means the router has not received the patch. If you've submitted your serial number to me on or before 6 PM last night 5/24/2022, please restart your system by unplugging it and plugging it back in and wait approximately 5 minutes after the router is fully restarted and check again. We have heard a second restart has proven more successful if the router was affected by this issue.
For more information please visit: NETGEAR is rolling out a fix for an issue affecting the Orbi RBK85x and RBK75x Series Mesh Systems.
Please note: the satellites do not need to be updated at this time and may show on a different firmware version. This is expected.
Please continue to add the results of your experience with this issue so we can look into this further if needed. If this is a new issue after being able to access the router settings please create a new topic for better visibility. Thank you!
Best Regards to All,
Christine
Yes, and the canned solutions are really quite a slap in the face. One goes, "in order to restore access to the http interface".., then goes on to explain how to do a factory reinstall. Like c'mon, really? That's just rude.
I think like someone else mentioned that this last FUBAR has also clobbered their remote access and that we will all eventually have to clean-slate install anyway. I am just curious as to how long it is before NG admits this, or if they will indefinitely play games and take us all for morons..
Good answer, this says a lot. Guess it's time to do the factory reset and reprogram everything.
Not really. Easier said than done. I would wait. System is working fine. Let NG take the hit and not you.
I went ahead and did it and am back online. It will suck figuring out all the devices and getting my custom names back as well as setting up parental controls, but I am doubtful NG will have a fix that doesn't involve clean-slating anyway. I do hope that I am wrong about that.
