I have received this from Netgear customer desk and it works fine for me for over 2 weeks now.

 

You can download it here.

 

RBS850-V4.6.6.11-signed.zip 

 

You don't have to reset your router either and this also has the sattelite firmware upgrade in it.

Thank you.  One must wonder why the super users insist on resetting the router?

That's the difference in a "Dirty Install" and a "Clean Install". The RBR/RBS are running while you update them and some parts of the old software that may need to be replaced, can't. Resetting allows the update process to complete. Just throwing FW at the RBKs is not an install.

Many problems are from "incomplete" FW updates that an after the fact reset many not fix.

There was a time when we had to do 30-30-30 Resets. That's holding in the Reset Button for 90 seconds, while Power On for 30, Power Off for 30, Power On for 30, release the reset button and let device completely start up. FURRYe38 found out that just leaving the gear off for a short period of time helped with installs that went awry. There are too many variables in this basically violent process. Personally I start off with a "Factory Reset" then load the new FW. When done do a "Pin-Hole Reset" and let the RBR fully come up.

If the FW was a load and leave install, it would probably cause the RBR to reboot as part of its process. My TVs, AppleTV4K, Firestick 4K MAX, Tablets, Computers, Phones all restart themselves, some multiple times during the process. Some even saying that they will be doing that just to let you know. Too bad the RBK FW isn't that sophisticated.

Hello, there is no V4.6.6.11 version in the given location: https://www.globalm.nl/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/RBR850-RBS850-V4.6.6.11-signed.zip
can I have this version (V4.6.6.11) available again?

I installed the version: V4.6.7.5_2.1.7 but it does not solve my problems with connecting devices, constant error in downloading the ip address, or if a device is already connected, it does not get internet anyway .. :( although on previously connected devices internet occurs ...

What devices do you have connected? 

Did you factory reset the RBR and RBS after v5 FW was applied to the system? 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Connected to the network are: mobile devices, laptops, switches, air conditioners, lighting controlled via wifi, etc., about 50 devices in total
S / N 65N7077GA04A9, house area about 200m, satellite 1 connected via ethernet,

factory reset 5 times after updating V4.6.7.5_2.1.7 according to comments on this forum ... I tested different channels, I currently have channels 11 and 40 set.

This problem does not occur if you set a static ip address on the device, but this is not a solution .. I also wanted to add that there are no problems on the guest network ... the problem happened after installing version 4.6.3.16.
Therefore, I am looking to download version 4.6.6.11, unless there are other options to solve the problem with connecting to the router, getting the IP address correctly, etc ...

v11 is no longer available nor supported. 

Please do not post MAC addresses or product serial numbers in public forums for security reasons. 

Are any of the devices having problems Apple devices? If so, disable WiFI Private Address features on these devices. 

Also try disabling AX mode on 2.4Ghz. CTS set to 500 or 2347 and set all devices to have Reserved IP addresses on the RBR. 

The service provider's modem is ZTE F412 EPON and Orbi is connected to it.

The distance is about 30-40 feet on a Cat 6 cable (the distance has always been the same from the beginning) - one-story house porotherm ceramic block

There are about 4-5 other wifi nearby, but they do not have the same range as orbi and I get a very weak signal at home

Why version 11 is no longer supported, the forum praised this version a lot, but maybe it is possible to make it available, or is another version planned?

I do not have Apple devices, so I do not know if there are problems with them, mainly android, microsoft, etc.

I also have a question where can I find the device status, how much work, what memory is used, CPU load, there are screenshots on the forum and I only display: hardware, firmwawer version, gui language, etc .. no other information ..

When it comes to ip address reservations, I have reservations made only for devices where I want to know their ip address from my head and not look for them (there are about 25-30 of them in total).

Is parental control planned on orbi routers?

Can you recommend any hardware firewall to install in front of the orbi router? I do not know why but I have the impression that problems with obtaining ip addressing also appear with the armor protection enabled, which I have bought ...

When it comes to ip address reservations, I have reservations made only for devices where I want to know their ip address from my head and not look for them (there are about 25-30 of them in total). And do these reservations work for the devices that connect? 

 

Is parental control planned on orbi routers? Parental controls arrived last year early in v4 FW.

I do not know why but I have the impression that problems with obtaining ip addressing also appear with the armor protection enabled, which I have bought ...OH. Ok, so I would do this, Disable Armor on the Orbi app and apply. Then factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Then lets see if you still have IP address problems with your devices. Seen problems before with Armor and it maybe the cause here. So lets try this as see.
