We do get that information. This was a pre-release thing to help get users better exeperiences. NG maybe still tuning whats on the plate and may come up with something else. We don't know. So install it if you like or wait it out. Users or posting that there getting much better experiences with it. Seems to at least help with the major issues seen in current and prior v4 FW versions.

Any idea when this will officially release through the auto-update process? If it is only a few days or a week then I'll just wait it out. Otherwise, I'll run through the manual steps...

Thanks for the quick reply! Ended up upgrading the fw on 2x satellites and router this afternoon. So far so good. Time will tell.

Keep an eye on things. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Guys - I am mac user, downloaded the Firmware and updated the 2 satellites. Looking to update the Router but could not find the ".img" files in download. All I see is 2 file .chk when I unzip the downloaded zip file. I did try to update router with same .chk file used for satellites but both tries failed.
Let me know, how to get this fixed.
Thank you.

Nevermind, I was able to update router. 2 sat & 1 router updated to v4.6.7.5. Lets see how this performs.

Hey there - I seem to have found out what is happening to my system (I think) - but not sure how to resolve. WHen I try to connect certain items to the RBR850 + (2) RBS850s The item will start to connect giving it a "192.168.x.xx IP address, THEN it charges the IP address to a "169.xxx.x.xx type address. The device will conttect to the network, but not to the internet. How to I get my Orbi system to STOP issuing 169 IP addresses ?
Thanks

Hi
The IP range 169.254. x.x: is an Automatic Private IP address generated by the device when it can't see the DHCP server on the network (router typically)
If you look on your router does it show these devices as connected?
