Did anyone else experience a complete nightmare with the latest firmware (4.6.3.16_2.0.51) on the RBR850 / RBR750?
It completely crashed my whole system. First the satellites disapeared. Then I did a full "new system" setup. It rebooted into Router Mode and everything was back to normal then I switched back into AP Mode (which I need) and once again no satellites!
This is really a big problem. I'm very frustrated with Netgear!
Does anyone have a similar situation with a solution. If you haven't "upgraded to v4 firmware....Don't.
Why did netgear push 4.6.3.16 to my router and satellites when on the support they have 4.6.3.6 for the router and 4.6.3.7 for the satellites??
The packages on the support site seem newer, should I upgrade to those? Can't believe NG is letting us down like this!! So frustrating.
v16 is most current and available for user manual download and installation.

Which Orbi system model do you have?

Did you connect your satellites to your Router via ethernet cable in AP mode?
Yup. Just like they have been for the past 6 months - prior to this firmware nightmare!
- Same problem here with 4.6.3.16_2_0_51. The whole system is borked right now. Random disconnects and reconnects. Resetting the DHCP table by giving it a different range worked after last week’s unexpected forced update, but not this. It’s completely messed up! Really disappointed in Netgear pushing these untested updates.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?

Really disappointed in Netgear pushing these untested updates.- I’m currently working away from home so I can’t perform a full factory reset, I just have to suffer the wrath of my wife and my daughter not being able to do her homework until I get back. Expecting a customer to have to do a full factory reset every random update is pretty unacceptable. I’m a firmware engineer myself and not having to do a full reinstall/reset is a pretty basic requirement for a major update even though sometimes it can be a lot of work to achieve.
