For anyone who was on v3 (like I was) and enjoying stability, if you're thinking that this version resolves any of the instability problems between satellites, it doesn't, at least not for me.
This is the same buggy v4 firmware, except the WiFi drops more often, they've only stopped the lights from coming on so you don't notice the issue as much. I upgraded and downgraded back to the old version within 2 days. Unstable trash firmware.
I reverted back to V3.2.16.22_1.4.9, and my network is stable again. If you need help downgrading, let me know. Happy to help anyone!
I have heard of a lot of buggy installations of 4.6.7.13, surprisingly, I have had no issues, it definitely solved my guest network issues and that is a great help — so my kids and grandkids are not complaining that their devices aren’t working.
Perhaps some of these buggy installations are equipment related? It does sound like Netgear really needs to get on the playing field and stop released crappy firmware updates before thoroughly testing them for reliability across all platforms and scenarios.
Yeah, what's weird is, as soon as I revert back to v3, my whole setup is perfect. Everything is stable even at factory defaults. v4.* requires so much tinkering and it's still horrible.
It can't be hardware if a particular version works perfectly, right?
Can be HW, configuration or environment. v.5 and v.13 is more stable and works better at least on my 7 and 8 series then prior versions of v4 or first release of v4.x FW.
I thought you have up on NG and sold your Orbi?
