RBR850/RBS850 Firmware Version 4.6.9.11 Released
New Features:
Adds an auto-firmware upgrade enable/disable option <Long awaited feature is FINALLY HERE!

I am seeing the guest network appear as well, seem to have disabled it (for now) by changing the name, turning it on and then turning it off again.
Also, I am seeing horrendous wifi performance since I updated about a week ago. My Ring cameras and Yale bridge are reporting poor signal quality, which was not the case with the previous firmware, and some older iPads are having issues connecting and holding a connection while streaming music to AirPlay 2 speakers, which also has not been an issue before. Newer devices are showing less than a full number of wifi bars, which is a new development as well.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
- No, I have done that enough times before with zero effect, I am not going that route without a really good reason to do so.
I have the Orbi 850. I wrote about issues I had with 4.6.9.11 earlier in this group. Netgear pushed out the new firmware in July/August and was recommended by Netgear support to go back to Firmware 4.6.8.5. That resolved my issues. My Orbi has updated me again in the last two days to Firmware 4.6.9.11. After taking it back again, I am back to Firmware 4.6.9.11. So I have downgraded three times and am now back to the new one again. Is anyone else getting this update forced on them?
The guest network which had been manually turned off is automagically on again, without any configuration changes or reboots.
Arter v.11 was loaded on the system, did you power OFF the system for 1 minute then back ON and continue to use the system or have you done a full on factory reset and setup from scratch since v.11 was applied?
We have seen the GN being seen during the boot up and ready sequence then it has turned back OFF.
Try this, enable the GN network and changd the SSID Name to something else. once the GN is enabled for a few minutes, re-disable it on the RBRs web page.

Yes, I have powered off the Orbi router, the Orbi satellite, the switch and the ONT, waited, and then turned turned them on again. I have also changed the guest network SSID, enabled it and then disabled it. I have seen the guest network (with the new SSID) appear twice in the last week, but it has been a while now.
I have not factory reset and set up from scratch, and I will not unless there is some really compelling evidence that it will help. (I have done this quite enough times already.)
