Quite happy with this firmware update 3.2.18.1!
For the Netgear Orbi AX RBK853 (Router + 2 Satellites), it auto-updated under the router admin and works successfully. I rebooted one of the Satellites to get a better connection, was a bit intermittent just after the update, but as soon as restarted all is stable. Fast and strong connection.
I also don't have any more DNS issues, however previously I did setup a 4to6 Tunnel under the router admin as well which helps mostly with that.

Let us know how it works for you...
This auto installed on my 850 & sattelites.... I did not manually download or install but it is there.
Kewl. did you power cycle the system off then back on any or just continue?

I did nothing... In fact, I dont know for how many days it has been installed.... I saw the post here and went and checked what version I had and it was already on the RBR and the three RBS's.
On my friends, I went to the Web GUI control panel and went to admin and Firmware and as it checked for what current version, it offered up the upgrade (where you had to click UPGRADE). Very odd that two exact systems would act so differently.
I have not power cycled nor factory reset.
Seems like this is a Major version which NG can auto push to users systems.
Well glad it's working for you then. Might make a new backup to file for this version of FW.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

wow...that's a rarity. You didn't have to check for updates, click on anything, etc..??
- Mine too.
The device list is all wrong now. It’s not showing a number of devices and some of the devices shown are listed under the wrong connection (e.g., wireless showing up as wired, etc).
Otherwise everything appears to be working.Did you power OFF the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds then back ON after the FW update?

I have an RBR, 3 RBS, and a busy house. It’s not conducive to run around turning items on and off after an update.
The tech is supposed to work for you, not the other way around!
Sidebar, I know you’re trying to help and appreciate it. My frustration is with the 1-2% of the product that doesn’t work as it should. For what has been spent on this wireless setup I shouldn’t need to moonlight as an IT help desk in my own house.
