How do I manually upgrade firmware on my Orbi router using orbilogin.com?
Thank you for your patience,

Same here. For months i have used the system without any issues (Router and 3 sattelites, 1 wired, 2 wireless in daisychain). After the 4.6.3.7 fw update the whole system is unstable. Wired everything is fine but wireless there are disconnects trhroughout the day. Also devices will not automatically reconnect to the orbi wifi. I don't feel like resetting everything, i just hope a fw update will be available soon...
The solution to all of these problems could be so easy if Netgear did not avoid downgrading firmware !
There firmwares are plenty of bugs and not well tested before release.
We will maybe have to face many other issues with some of upcomings firmwares.
Why are they blocking downgrades so that we can downgrade to a more stable firmware in cas of issue with latest release ???
We are not talking about low cost hardware so we might have the right to choose which firmwareversion to use.
I really don't understand why they are doing this.
But for sure I don't think I will buy Netgear again.
I fully agree, invested nearly 1k in this equipment. it will make it harder to reccomend this to friends and families for sure.
And the real sore spot is, even thought it is clearly Netgear's fault, they are charging shipping for replacing under warranty gear. They should be replacing it for free including shipping. And only charge shipping for out of warranty gear that was affected, but still replace for free. I cannot charge my customers fees for something that is not their fault.
There has to be a reason for not allowing the downgrade. I'm assuming it has to do with the WIFI WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security issues they got hit with.
- name and shame on their twitter page
