Update to 4.6.9.11 went flawlessly, no problems. Manually updated satellites first, then router. After succesfull updates I turned off power on router and satellites for a few minutes. Everything came back online as expected. Immediately turned off automatic updates to keep control 🙂. And of course downloaded a new backup-systemfile as advised by FURRYe38 . System still stable!
Enjoy. 📡

upgrade to this version went smoothly. however, I previously had telnet enabled via my config using a much older FW. Once I upgraded to 4.6.9.11, telnet no longer works and I cannot enable it (even with the debug.htm screen and enabling the hidden checkbox)
Telnet was removed from mid v3 versions of FW and beyond. NG is not supporting telnet.
Firmware upgrade on RBK852 went flawless. Noticeable performance improvements. Backed up config, RBS update, then RBR. Factory reset RBR. Powered off modem, RBR & RBS for one minute then powered up modem, RBR &RBR and let each complete reboot before powering on the next. Reloaded RBR backup config. Only anomaly is SpeedTest not working through web interface. Works fine on apps.
- Finger fault….Powered off modem, RBR & RBS for one minute then powered up modem, RBR & RBS and let each complete reboot before powering on the next.

Just curious (as we are tracking issues) - what browser are you using when doing the SpeedTest through the WebUI?
TC_in_Montana These Speedtests are under Win 11. Chrome updated this morning when I started it to Version 104.0.5112.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Speedtest using Orbi web Advanced Setup ran with no problems.
I had not tested under Microsoft Edge Version 104.0.1293.70 (Official build) (64-bit) and so I just ran Speedtest using Orbi web Advanced Setup it also ran with no problems.
I'm also seeing the speed test not working in the browser issue. Speed test works in the iOS app, but not in the browser. Latest Safari (16.0 on Monterey 12.6). First hitting the speed test page shows the most recent test result (initiated from the app):
But when I click "Test speed" it spins for 5 to 10 seconds, then I get this:
Besides working in the app, on the basic status page when I first load the web GUI it has the happy "internet is good" status tile:
And general wi-fi connectivity works fine from various devices. So it just seems to be the speed test functionality in the web browser.
