Sorry to be the buzz kill. My Orbi setup automatically upgraded to the new firmware without issues. Speeds look strong, satellite connection is excellent. Hope everyone finds a good fix.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

As mentioned in the other thread, my router + 2 satelites auto updated to the new version (really should be optional, configurable)
I tried the below as suggested:
Try a FULL on power OFF of the RBR and RBS and ISP modem for 2 minutes then back ON
- The update doesn't seem to have fixed the previous issues that I was having.
- I'm still catching my satellites goes through a flashing white light, to solid blue light cycle periodically.
- My samsung TV is still unable to join my wifi network (this was working for well over a year before the previous auto update to 4.3.7.x).
Try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch. Reset the RBS first then turn them OFF. Setup the RBR first and get it running. Turn turn ON the RBS and re-sync...

GOOD LUCK IF THE ISSUE HASNT HAPPEND YO YOU YET.. It's coming either firmware is bad or your wi-fi processor will go bad during next update.
Another case of firmware 4.6.3.14 breaking wi-fi .. Slows down big time.. Rollback failed to resolve.. Netgear has seem this problem so much their experts forsy words are Nope firmware didn't do it but wi-fi processor went bad at dames exact moment..
''hundreds of $'s wasted on a company who knows good and well they have a code issue trying to make this thing work..
My advice buy 20 yr warrenty or don't buy at all any orbi ..
BTW i have orbi 5 star rating for over a year until firmware update blew my box up/.
- Same here. The firmware so far has been stable however I only have 13 devices connected. Just added a pi-hole which has been good. Knocking on wood for now…
Sounds good. Keep an eye on it.

Knocking on wood for now…- I had similar issues of dropping wifi frequently with RBR750 FW 4.6.3.16. I use my Orbi in AP mode. I hard reset my ONT, router, RBR and RBS( unplugged for 5 min). I haven’t seen any drop in wifi for the past 2 days. Speeds have been stable and overall stability has improved quite a lot.
