No online update available on RBR850 RBS850 + Blue light stuck on 1 Satellite
I have recently bought a set of 1 router and 2 satellites for my home network. I am still on 4.6.3.16 and none of Orbi management tools (web and app) can find the new firmware to update online...man...
How to manually update your system is linked here:
It's fairly easy to manually update the RBS using there web pages first. Then you update the RBR lastly using same process. Maybe have someone help you out.
Otherwise you'll need to wait for NG to officially make new FW available. With recent auto update events causing problem. I would NOT be waiting around for a the next FW update to appear there.
Thanks FURRYe38, I was aware of your post with the latest FW but was unsure if it is still recommended to go with this latest FW since Netgear has stopped to roll it out...
basically I have the choice of going for latest FW with manual update (with the risk of making things worse) or just to stick with current firmware and its flaws. Cornelian dilemma...
To me, Netgear has a lot of progresses to make to be on par with other companies like Sonos, Apple and other compagnies selling premium HW but also providing premium user experience, plug and play devices, good support and fully tested software.
If your system is working you might keep what's loaded for now. If you decide to update, then update the RBS first. THEN update the RBR lastly.
Updated 4 days ago to latest FW Satellites and then Router as per your instructions.
Seems to have worked, no constant reboot anymore on the previously faulty satellite, signal seems good and stable since then BUT I cant access to the App or web interface anymore.
I restarted the router (waiting 10 sec every time) a dozens of time the last 4 days and still no luck. Netgear support told me that my device SN was on the list for the auto fix but at the end it is not getting fixed...
Starting to be truly fed up with all this R&D**bleep** from Netgear. This is not what I paid for.
Review this if your having problems with the Orbi app.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
