Please accept my apologies for any delay in getting this message to you. I have been advised that an official firmware release is in the final stages of internal testing and in the process of being posted to our support site. Likely, within the next 24 hours.
To get this firmware release now please click the link below:

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

I agree and asked them about this.
Can't presume to know what developers are doing.
No router mfrs announces when new FW is forth coming.

You guys can try this:
FW fixes don't happen over night.
But removing the current broken version so that people don't get the broken update pushed onto them or simply not advertising the broken version seems like the sensible thing to do.
Since they haven't done that you have to conclude they aren't taking the complaints seriously or simply don't believe the problems are serious since the developers obviously never use the routers themselves.
So when will there be an update to help with this ... one year ... two ...
So I downgraded by RBR750 and RBS750 to V3.2.18.1_1.4.14. I wanted to start completely fresh without using backups.
These were the steps I took:
1. Download latest v3 of the RBR750 and RBS750 firmware
2. Disconnect the WAN from the RBR750 (disconnect internet)
3. Downgrade the firmware to the RBS750 using two wired connections (desktop to RBR750 and RBR750 to RBS750)
4. Downgrade the firmware to the RBR750 using that HTML trick on the firmware update page [AWESOME BY THE WAY!]
5. Performed a factory reset on the RBR750 using the web menu and performed a hard factory reset (via reset button) on the RBS750
6. Setup the RBR750 and blocked the following services
- explore.netgear.com
- downloadcenter.netgear.com <- used during the firmware update page
- http.fw.updates1.netgear.com
- updates1.netgear.com
- devcom.up.netgear.com <- used during the firmware update page
- netgear-devrecog.fing.io <- used during the firmware update page
- netgearup-dev.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com <- used during router booting process
7. Setup my LAN, custom DHCP address reservations, and custom DNS server (AdguardHome)
8. Reconnected the WAN (enabled internet)
From my testing the router was still trying to contact the update servers even with the "block sites" in the blocked list. The router logs also did not indicate any block sites being well...blocked. Since I am using a custom DNS solution, my service blocked those domains listed above which resulted on the firmware update page of "Service unreachable". The blocked sites option is not a way of blocking updates. The non-custom DNS solution would be to flash V3.2.10.10 to have access to Telnet to the router and disable updates through setting variables in the nvram.
I am finally on the previous version of the firmware.
Good to hear that is working back on V3.
Thanks for letting us know.

I spent another 2-3 hours chatting with support last night becuase I still have 1 device (Samsung TV) that will not be given an IP appress to connect to the interent. I have 4 other Samsung TV's in the house that connect just fine so not sure why this one is not connecting. I confirmed that I can easily connect the TV via a hotspot on my phone. Last night I followed the guidance and factory reset and started over. The TV connected just fine once that reset took place. The satellite remained off and not connected during this process. Once I plugged in the satellite and the TV switched connection from the router to the satellite the TV lost internet connection and continues to not connect at all. Any ideas why this would be persisting still? They were of no help last night.
Do the other TVs connect to this RBS?
Are all TVs same brand and model#?
If so, be sure FW updates on the TV are the same.
Has this TV worked before on prior version of Orbi FW?
