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

Were you able to get the beta FW?

Does anyone know how we can get a hold of the Firmware Beta that addresses the connectivity issues introduced with version 4.6.3.7?
I have had the same connectivity issues that everyone else has been seeing since the introduction of the updated firmware in July.
Thanks
Yes I did thanks - the system is much more stable. The only odd thing that I see is that 1 of my two satellite's is wired and that one has a good connection, the other one is on a wireless connection and the system summary says that there is a sync issue. I have tried resynching it using the sync button on that Satellite and then on the main router, but that message does not clear - it does not seem to be affecting my system, so I am not sure if it is simply a nuisance status message.
Try powering OFF the RBR and RBS for 1 minute, then back on?

- Hi
2 days back did a reboot through the orbi app on iOS . The system has been stable since then with good connectivity between the main and satellite units . The speed also is better Thanks for letting us know. You still using v7 FW as well?

I then followed the reccomendation of powering down the system and rebooting thorugh that method and all Sateliite's connected. System appears to running stable - will watch it over the next several days to see if it remains that way. Preliminary feedback is that Beta version 4.6.3.16 is working great!
Thanks
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- Reporting back after a week with the beta firmware. The intermittent connectivity issue has been much better, but not absent. Every once in a while my satellite randomly goes blue/magenta. But since it's not every 5-10 like it used to be, I am able to have my work zoom calls in relative peace.
I hope Netgear provides a permanent solution soon... Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
