Tried to auto update to v.13 but was not yet available in the UK. Updated the Sats first manually and no issue to update! but the sats did not continue to work at all with the Router on the v.5 firmware. Updated the Router manually to v.13 powered down router and stats powered up router then sats all working well. Warning if you don’t update sats first I believe you could have serious issues. Netgear’s procedure is to always update the sats first then the router. Post your findings. Now all working will evaluate.
Yes, been long known info to update RBS first always...
I updated my RBK852 last night and all devices work fine but some devices are missing from the device list. I updated the satellite first, power cycled both devices and rebooted them a couple times after they were up but they are still missing devices from the device list. What made me first realize the devices were missing is that one device was a Philips Hue hub that was hard wired to the RBR and it was working fine but was definitely missing from the list of devices, in the main device list and the list of devices that are connected to the RBR itself. When I have some more time, I will do a setup from scratch but for now everything has a connection so it's not a huge problem.

I experience the same - My 2 Hue Bridges are hardwired to router and works fine, but they only show as attached device on the webbased login - In the app they don't appear at all.
Not a problem at all but still a bug.
- Yes long known I agree but the point is the sats stop responding once updated. Users need to be assisted to understand what you I know!! Sats upgrade first then Router always.
That why I put that in the first post about the FW update. :smileywink:
I have been tracking memory and CPU usage daily for a little over a month.
With this firmware update (4.6.7.13), something interesting has happened regarding RBR-850 memory usage...
1. Memory usage (so far) has significantly dropped (as much as 50 Meg) from previous versions and appears to remain steady at 320.
Under previous versions of firmware it has been as high as 371 but had a daily average of 347.
2. CPU load seems a fraction higher at an average of 11.47% (where under previous version it averaged about 11.27%.
Will post the graph for this in a few days as more numbers come in, but compared to previous reboot periods and operating cycles, this version is acting significantly different with memory usage being lower and more constant.
If you check your CPU loads right after a reboot, they could be as high as 20%; let the system settle down for a few hours and then check it.
