This udpated firmware busted my satellite. After the update I could not for the life of me get my satellite to get or stay connected to the router. I moved it closer to the router, then I hardwired them together, and they still would not sync/connect. I factory reset the satillite and they did not work either. I was using the web interface to do the update. When that didn't work I tried using the iPhone app and that could not connect either.
In the web interface, I removed the satellite, which constantly appeared offline, then I tried to re-add it numerous times. This was one of the times I regret updating, when I should have left it alone. Obviously no success removing and re-adding the satillete.
Since I needed my internet to be back up before the next working day, I just pulled out the factory box, and put the Orbi in them to be returned the next day. I put my older system in to get the internet running again. Waste of time and $$ for sure, my bad to re-trusting Netgear.
On a side note - I didn't like how it was a single SSID for every band. I used the guest network for a second SSID, but my firewall doesn't monitor this particular guest band since it's not technically going through the firewall and network. I want to monitor everything through all bands. Oh well, lessons learned.

You may remember my issue that was never fixed in 1 year (Wired Backhaul Satellite Gust Network with no internet - DNS issue probably)
I got a mail from the support NG last week telling me that it was fixed and tested in v4.6.3.9
I was wondering (when I read a few posts here with several issues) if I really should upgrade or not....
Thanks for your help !

I recommend you hold off. I believe theres too many issues with this FW.
You can try it, however downgrading seems to be not supported though users have found a way to downgradeL
