New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released

OH. MY. GOD. What an evening from hell.  Trying to follow all the tips from the last few days......I just wrapped up 6 straight hours trying to get this POS to work like it should.     I can't even begin to describe all the many different types of issues since this horrid update.

Some devices(my friggin brand new 5G mobile phone, and personal laptop included) wouldn't connect.....one Satellite took a dozen tries to connect.  

To this very minute, I tried so many things, I still don't know what FINALLY did the trick. Brute force/ sheer sheer # of efforts?

To the Netgear moderator gent in this thread(I think?) - THANK YOU for your willingness to jump in and provide guidance- we appreciate you trying to help.

But I've gotta tell ya.....I'm ABSOLUTELY looking for a new mesh system.  I've had nothing but issues with this router and 2 satellites since end of last year.

Everytime I lose power to the router,  NOTHING comes back online by itself.  I have to do a damn hard reset(using same SSID and password so the 3 dozen smart "things" in my home can reconnect), because nothing else fixes it.  I've heard that if left alone for hours, it MAY right itself? But who's got that kind of time in the middle of a work from home business day??

Can someone confirm how restoring a backup .cfg file works? Is it really just easy enough to blast through to desktop settings UI and restore to get right back to a 100% working network setup?  Kicking myself for not finding this out sooner. 

Sorry for venting...... I'm going to medicate myself to sleep now.
