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.

If this fails, then return it while your in a return period.
Thank you
Seems to be the most popular suggestion thus far. But on the other hand I don't think my other system had quite the number of problems so I may return the Netgear. I hope I won't be charged for product support for chating with you.

Yes - he is interupting the conversation with links and questions like always.
Everytime new poor users tells about their issues they are met with 20 questions and 5 link. Not a words about the risk that this user might been hit by the bad FW. That is not fair towards users not informing about this. If he was not on NG pay-roll, he would have informed about the risk, else his should consider his integrity.
I respect and appreciate the willingness to help other, but I find the way it is done strange. And questions why he is not directing all his energy towards getting NG to deal with their customers. I do not buy that NG are aware and never tell then they are going to release something - and pay him hold the line

And by the way - I had today a rare ISP breakdown for 10 min. Now all satelites a totally bricked again - og I have restarted 10 times since ISP were back again. And it is still not working. All Mac devices disconnects randomly every hour. Even the LAN it cannot keep stable. Are my Netgear Arlo craches constanty together with my Hue witch have so must latency that it is a joke.
The only thing that keep the family running is a (ironically) a Netgear 5G mobile router - I should charge NG all the money I spend on an unlimited data-plan to keep the household running, being able to do our jobs and school from home during yet another lockdown.
And I paid to get the best in class MESH Wifi 6 system -. and I get no support - and cannot retun.
