New - RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version v4.6.7.5 Released

No Release Notes at this time. I'll see if I can get some.   Download Link: https://ntgr.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#300000000xsV/a/8b000000saFt/i4cTgMcDmRicn83wLRWla1yba4WYDLOpocfG7QED1Zc   F...

Hi all

 

Looks like I definitely have a werid 2.4Ghz glitch / bug with this firmware but thankfully it is easy to resolve.  Recently had a power outage and that seems to have caused the bug to reoccur.  A simple power down, leave for 2 minutes, power up RBR and then RBS seems to iron out the kink.  But this is what I have at the moment (pre-reboot).

 

  1. Device List shows the wireless camera connected on 2.4Ghz to the RBS.  Note however in the screenshot the RBR reporting zero data transfer on 2.4Ghz channel.  All other devices are choosing to connect at 5Ghz.
  2. Device List shows one of the mobile phones, as "Wired".  Tried deleting it from the Orbi and switching the phone off for a few minutes.  Reconnects and shows exactly the same.

Not a major deal for a beta FW but thought I'd just raise it for awareness.

 

Thanks

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

      FURRYe38no factory reset since the FW update.  If it starts playing up any further I'll give that a try.  Thanks. :smileyhappy:

        Hi,

         

        I don't see that on my setup either. When I did the F/W upgrade I also did a factor reset afterwards, powered everything off for at least 2 mins and then rebuilt the router from scratch. I keep an Excel list of all my reserved IP's with MAC and descriptions. I have well over 50 devices and it only takes 5 mins or so to rebuild with copy and pasting the info from Excel

         

        Worth trying a complete reset if you haven't done so already
