WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

Just wanted to give an update - a big thank you to Netgear for absolutely bringing my work from home to a complete standstill! Whether it's wired or wireless... I know I can count on Netgear Orbi's to ruin it. I've been booted from calls, kicked from forms online, movies halted 10 minutes in. Thankfully we have a fix - reboot and reload every time. I'd put in a ticket, but I'm not sure I can stay online long enough to go through that.

"Thankfully we have a fix - reboot and reload every time" What does reload every time mean?

It was mostly said tongue in cheek, but am referring to factory resets. Power cycling. Though most of the time I just release and renew my IP address until the Orbi decides to maintain a consistent connection.
For instance, just to post this, I had to release and renew my IP address on my ethernet connection 4 times. I'm just getting warmed up. Thankfully my phone connection to the cell tower miles away is consistent. Sucks that the wired connection in the other room cannot seem to offer that same consistency.- FURRYe38Oct 28, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Do you have IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
Is the RBR connecting to your CM2000 at 2.5Gb on the WAN port?
Wondering why the RBR is needed to be released and renewed on the WAN port.
Has the CM modem been powered OFF for 1-2 minutes then back ON?
