Hello, but is this new firmware a beta? because on the site the latest version is 4.6.5.14. I have version 4.6.3.16 because I have not installed version 4.6.5.14 because I have read that many have had problems. I with the version 4.6.3.16 we say that it works quite well and I am always afraid to install a new firmware, so the version 4.6.7.5 is a beta? On searching for updates, I only find version 4.6.5.14 for the router for the two satellites, it tells me no updates are available. Thank you.

It's not an official firmware release, more of a publilc beta. Well worth trying this firmware as it seems to have helped a number of users resolve some of their issues. Make sure you read and follow the OP instructions, especially factory reset and power off times
- stlgasmanJan 31, 2022TutorSomeone here posted a download link to the beta version. I installed it, power cycled and reset the the router. Still flaky. I thought about downgrading but after the reset it checks for new firmware so that’s probably a waste of time. I wonder if getting a different router and using these in bridge mode would work.

What do you mean by still flaky? Whats happening?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Is AX mode enabled and CTS at default value or 2347?
If you mean AP mode, yes would be worth trying.

I can see it when I get notifications that the thermostat is offline, etc. Saturday was rock solid. Sunday maybe a half dozen three to five minute drops. Today, off and on all day. I am thinking about down grading firmware, but it will just update automatically. The satellite is connected via Ethernet.

Since there was a power outage last week, the router seems to have adjusted it's power down to 50% as configured and all devices stay on their dedicated satellite. I have done several reboots and power offs more than 1 minute. Netgear needs to get their stuff fixed. Booting network devices should be enough, not plug off for several minutes. Are we back in 1990? Man, this firmwares are pain in the a55. Really!
On my job I work with appliances and network devices, I have never seen such unprofessional software like this from netgear, even in consumer hardware!
600 bucks for rbr und 2 rbs? It's only worth 100 bucks, maximum. I am still not satisfied with this firmware....
