New RBR/RBS 750 firmware version 4.6.5.14
Got prompted for new firmware update. Not a chance I’m installing after the last debacle. Any release notes?

Hello, I have orbi RBK753 and I too have received the notification of this new firmware version 4.6.5.14 I have not yet installed it. Has anyone installed it works fine and without problems? Thank you.

I updated my RBK753 system (router plus two satellites) a few days ago and have not had any issues. Everything seems to be working fine.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy.

Still having issues since this latest update. I've factory reset everything and started again and still get the same issues. Devices struggling and usually failing to get an IP and my two RBS750s drop off and need to be restarted every couple of hours. I've not had any similar issues until I installed 4.6.5.14.
When the RBS750s drop off they get a solid blue light, I can leave them for hours and they remain like this with no connection via them until after a power cycle. None of the devices connected directly to the router seem to be effected by these issues but this is absolutely no use to me, I need the satellites to work reliably.
If you havent already done this update I would avoid it.

I'm steering well clear of it. Finally managed to stabalise my mesh and I'm not going to chance it. If it ain't broke, don't update.
