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.
I put the ass in assume. I thought I would be able to keep the same IP for longer than 24 hours but no. Simple change and I have not had to reboot the modem this morning....lets see around 6pm central tonight.

"However, most other manufacturers do let you load whichever firmware you want without having to "hack" the html of the page and having to block access to the autoupdates through a downstream router, something not everyone will have and something that shouldn't be needed for a consumer grade, so easy you can configure it with an app type of product."

"I work in product and I'd say the current Orbi 750/752/753 has failed to meet its product goals. I'd have expected a P45 by now if I was accountable for this product."
AGREE. Most companies used to do this up to the 80's when greed overtook integrity. Now it is few and far between.
"Quite why anyone would defend it or Netgear astounds me."
I have that affect on most people.
"If you paid for this product with your own hard earned cash, you can absolutely be forgiven for being annoyed and frustrated."
AGREE and did.
" recently had an issue with a feature on my Synology NAS after upgrading to DSM 7."
We need to talk.. I am ready to NAS and allow it to be my multi terrabyte Plex server/vault and backup for 8 devices. Any suggestions? Do I REALLY need RED drives? I do not see the need for SSD at this juncture.

I'll keep it brief just because we are in the netgear thread but I really rate the Synology NAS and would buy it again, though if you are going to run Plex and you can get a good price I'd go for the 920+ rather than 420+. Better processor and more memory out of the box. I wish I'd done it, but there again the DS420+ is absolutely fine and more than powerful enough.
I would argue you don't specifically NEED network drives. I was running desktop drives in my previous Drobo even though it was specifically discouraged and they were fine for years. However I did end up buying Seagate IronWolf drives rated for NAS just to be safe. The benefit is the drives are designed to be always on so I hope less likely to fail.
