Very strange. I just now looked at Downloads for RBR850, RBK852, RBK853, RBK854 and all of them report v4.6.9.11
This could be a case of various Netgear web servers not being in sync. There is not one single IP address for Netgear web sites. When I was trying to track connections to the Netgear firmware update site, different DNS resolvers would report a series of different IP addresses.
No idea how long it takes for something like this to propagate.
Ya, usually takes a day or two for it to appear in the section down below. 🙄
So manually loaded my 8 series last evening using a wired PC and MS edge. RBS first then RBR lastly. RBS were near or in same room as RBR and wirelessly connected for the FW upgrade.
After system was back online from processing the FW update, I powered OFF the RBS and RBR for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first then RBS. No factory reset was performed.
System came back online successfully.
Checked RBS connected directly to the back of the RBR via ethernet and eventually they appeared as wired RBS on the RBRs web page.
Connected a wired device to the back of each RBS and those appeared in there connected devices list successfully.
Checking current version Orbi app, iPhone and Android pad reported successful connections to the system and reported the RBS and devices correctly. Speed test with Orbi app was successful and to spec.
Currently using manual channels 11 and 48. Power set to 25% as to not create too much noise with my CAX80.
Using default DHCP IP address pool size of .100 to .200.
No Armor, SPC or Traffic meter features are enabled.
Will let this run for a bit. Will put it in place as main home system this weekend.
A quick comment, RBK853 updated to 4.6.14.3 (RBR and 2 RBS).
Everything is working OK, except Anywhere Access (from the app on iPhone v2.21.1.353) is unable to connect to the router.
When using WiFi (Connected Locally) the app is working correctly.
This was working correctly on previous firmware versions on the same hardware.
Regards Leo.
