The update itself worked fine (satellites first, router last, no factory reset), but I notice a weird regression with this version.
The RBKE963 mesh system is configured in AP mode, as stations of another router and I've given router and both satellites (internal-) DNS (A) records to access them more comfortably than having to remember their IP addresses. This worked fine with 6.0.3.85 and continues to work with 6.3.7.5 for the satellites, but the router only answers to its domain name with "500 Internal Server Error" (I can access the web interface via its IP address just fine).
router (affected):
http://172.21.253.36/ <-- works fine
http://rbre960/ (relying on the configured search domain) <-- 500 Internal Server Error
http://rbre960.fully.qualified.domain.example.com/ <-- 500 Internal Server Error
satellites (fine):
http://172.21.253.37/, http://rbse960-oben/, http://rbse960-oben.fully.qualified.domain.example.com/ <-- works fine
http://172.21.253.38/, http://rbse960-unten/, http://rbse960-unten.fully.qualified.domain.example.com/ <-- works fine
The name resolution works just fine, I can ping rbre960 and rbre960.fully.qualified.domain.example.com without any problem, it's just the webinterface that doesn't like being accessed by its externally configured domain name.

This worked fine in the previous version and is reproducible in the current versions of firefox, chrome and edge (including incognito mode of either of them).

Going on 10 days of good uptime on the 9 series in AP mode thats connected to a XR1000 router and a CAX80 modem:
RBS are ethernet connected to the RBR using 2.5Gb ports with XS505M and GS110MX in between them.

Just downloaded several times the new FW. https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBKE963/RBRE960-V6.3.7.5.zip and it'll show as a .chk file after i extracted it properly. (windows might not interpret it correctly). A manual upload of such a *.chk file doesn´t work
Any suggestions ?
