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

Myabe someone can ask this person what they did to downgrade theres:
Seems to mention they got there RBR downgraded prior to downgrading the RBS.
Waiting to see what browser they used and the process. I presume they used the RBRs web page then used the RBS web page to downgrade them lastly. Hopefully they can confirm.
- I patiently waited a week for a fix for the Orbi. Since the firmware “upgrade”. My WiFi is almost unusable with satellites working/not working, having to jump to guest WiFi and back to the main WiFi as one or both would intermittently stop working. I have factory reset daily and all of my home automation is next to useless. I can’t wait any longer. Any recommendations for another WiFi 6 mesh brand? Costco has a lot of choices right now. Range over speed is my priority. Thanks in advance .
You'll need to return the system then and find something else. Rencommend other NG routers if they have anything. If not. Good luck else where.
I have to say, that my orbi 753 is now running stable again with 4.6.3.7 after a complete reset to factory defaults.
Erased RBR750 using the "Revert to Factory Default Settings" from the Backup settings in the Advanced Tab
At this point i recommend to disable the AX feature via the Admin tab going to Wireles Setup under the Setup Item then uncheck "Enable AX - This WiFi mode will enable AX features" for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. I did this as a last step in this process as i was still seeing the same connection issues after this full reset.
I did not do a Restore of the settings, did everything from scratch.
Then I performed a reset on my 3 sattelites using a paperclip until the orange flashing light.
Added the sattelites one by one, this was a bit of a struggle but succeeded in the end.
At this point i actually disabled the AX features because the system was still unstable, i recommend doing it earlier as described above.
After disabling the AX Features the system is stable ever since (4-5 days)
A factory reset that i tried earlier by just using the paperclip on the RBR750 did not resolve anything, also doing that did not fully erase the RBR because the custom sattelite names were remembered and all the custom names for the connected devices were remembered.
So really do an Erase using the Revert to Factory defaults from the backup settings.
I did not find any performance issues having the AX features disabled, but my line is just 600mbit, and this is still what i get on most of the devices that are able to handle that speed (iPhones/iPads. Laptops)
I am now in a situation where I am very affraid to touch the system again, even stayed away from rebooting it. So a confirmation, root cause and solution from NG is very desirable of course!
