I will throw it up in my guest room and see how it holds up for a few days.
Just for checking, if one has to stick with a 3.xx firmware which one do you personally recommend?
Firstly thanks for all the help furry. You have been patiently helping everyone here, and while i was being sarcastic earlier, your help is much appreciated.
Using PFsense i threw up on an old nuc, i was able to block all updates and manually shift to 3.2.18xx which is the last v3 update. So far it seems to work. Taking your advice i reset them entirely, kept them off for half a day, and then plugged them back in and added them back. I think one of my satellites is a bit wonky, since it oddly loses connection once in a while, but the rest of them seem to be holding up fine.
I have been able to successfully block updates via pfsense, since whenever i check via firmware updates manually, it gives a connection error. I looked up all the names suggested here in the various threads and added all of them to a small blocklist.

I've been using the beta v16 and it's been working well for me on my 853 series...
NG sometimes pushes FW to Orbis before posting up on there download site. I presume we may see the download site updated soon though. I believe the fixes seen on beta will be put same on the release once that hits.

This firmware is not available as an official manual update as the latest one on their downloads page is 4.6.3.9.
Has anyone updated to this firmware yet? Is it a different firmware to the beta firmware 4.6.3.16?

I'm going to bite the bullet and upgrade and report back any issues.

OK, I did a full power OFF of the RBS and RBR for 1-2 minutes then back ON with the RBR then RBS after FW updated and they came to ready.

Same here. I see the version is reported as V4.6.3.16_2.0.51. (see screenshot)
It retained my remote management settings as well:smileyhappy:
What is the beta's full filename for v4.6.3.16_?.?.?
