New V4.6.3.16
Hi all, Installed yesterday the new beta firmware V4.6.3.16. Got some improvements in the wireless connections but totally broke my lan wired stability. I have been quiet and reading the feedback bu...
The fact the stability issues remain in v4.6.3.16 and yet Netgear remain silent on it, is terrible. I have never experienced customer service like it and Netgear should be ashamed.
Surely someone in Netgear care that one of their most expensive products is totally ruined by a firmware update? A firmware update FORCED on users with no way to turn back? No? Oh yes, i forgot, revenue from parental controls.
guys... I followed your suggestion. I returned my ORBI and bought an ASUS ZenWifi AX6600.
Now everything works.
Thanks... it was a pleasure to spend some time in this forum.- Glad you were able to get it returned vmiele.

I like the ZenWIFI XT8 too.
With a GT-AX11000 and 2xXT8s I found it quite good.
But these too (from what I have read on the snbforums) have problems with the 2.5GB internet port as did the GT-AX11000 2.5 GB port last time I tried to use it.
Adding AiMesh nodes can be a challenge, particularly if your using a range of different ASUS models.
Anumber of the other problems we hear about here also happen.
The security features don't come anywhere near those available on the Orbi.
Parental controls, allowing an extrememly limited 16 devices, is for me essentially non-existent.
You will, at some point, find the need to identify which earlier firmware version is stable enough for your needs so keep that in mind as you go.
