New v3.2.15.25 FW update seen in Orbi App Today...
Have a friend stating that he's seeing v3.2.15.25 appearing as a FW upate for the orib 850 series in the Orbi app. Anyone else? Nothing posted to the manual download site. And look wha...
FURRYe38Is there or have you found a link to Update files themselves? Or have I missed something somewhere?!
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you . . .

Usually if FW updates are seen first in the Orbi app or via Auto update, trailing manual FW files are posted a bit later on here:

I've asked NG for information regarding this new update some users have seen. I didn't get a chance to check mine out yesterday, I'll try today.

Yeh. That's the first place I went hoping, kinda, that the raw files would be there . . . But no. Eventually.
Then I asked you, FURRYe38 since you "know people" . . .

I'm just someone in a low place. LOL.
They said they would check on things. Hopefully they will post soon. Be patient Zeeago!

As many of you, I've been dealing with RBR850 randomly disconnecting from the internet and RBS850 suddenly disappearing from the network along with the devices physically attached. Things were pretty stable since I've updated to the latest V3.2.11.2_1.2.13 firmware (~2 months ago?). Suddenly, at first, I started to get RBS850 disconnects while RBR850 was fine. In the past week or so, I've been getting disconects with both. Sometimes, they would come back online themselves and other times I have to reboot the units to restore functionality. Day by day, these disconnects have been geting more frequent (3-4 times daily).
Obviously this behavior is super annoying and inconvenient. I am starting to wonder if I have a defective unit. But as I researched the problem, I've come accross others having the same issues, or at least I think these are the same issues. From what I can gather, it's a firmware issue and not necessarily a hardware issue. Please correct me if I am wrong.
To my question. While I love the speed of the system, I am very disappointed by overall system stability. Has Netgear fully acknowledged the issues and actively trying to address them with these firmware updates? This is not yet clear to me. If not, then I might be better served returning this system and get another system for my $700. I have 10 days left before my return period runs out. Hopefully I can try out this new firmware in the next few days so I can make a decision.
Any insight would be appreciated.
