If you manually update, be sure to update the RBS first, then RBR lastly.

Unplug the power adapters from the power wall outlet.
A factory reset maybe needed if problems are encountered:

I've just manually updated to officially released 4.6.7.13, downloaded from https://kb.netgear.com/000064681/RBR850-RBS850-Firmware-Version-4-6-7-13?language=en_US. I haven't seen that version mentioned, just the 4.6.7.5. Maybe they are the exact same versions and the official release is just a version bump over 4.6.7.5?
Ok v4.6.7.13 is live and is official release and not a beta:
Have at it.
Please be sure to post any v.13 experiences and issues in that thread.
Thank you.
- Just tried to auto update to v.13 but was not 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.
- Installed the firmware in my RBR and RBS850, did not really change much. Disconnected to Magenta LED after 24h again.
Tried pretty much everything: from changing cables to factory reset to repositioning, all that was suggested in posts like these.IF you installed v.13, please post here:
Thank you.

- The only thing I can say for sure is that the connection stays stable once I turn off the satelllite. But that defeats the purpose of a mesh network.
