ORBI CBR750 requires manually releasing/renewing the IP

I have Netgear Orbi CBR750 with RBS750 satellite. I own this for two month now. Four days ago, it started dropping internet every 1.5 hours. Rebooting the router would bring the internet back. I ...

FURRYe38 - Let's decompose RBK750.

Does RBK750 not include?

  • RBR750
  • RBS750

And hence, my issue in this forum?

 

Also, contacting Netgear Support will entail buying extending support, and at the end of the day 

Netgear Engieering/R&D has to deliver working firmware!!!

I had the same issue upgrading RBS to firmware version V4.6.7.13 and all hell broke loose!!! I too have CBR750 firmware version V4.6.5.8_2.0.54.

 

I rolled back RBS to firmware V4.6.7.5. Now it is manageable, however nothing like the stability/performance I had August 2021, at which time Netgear introduced firmwares for CBK752 (CBR750 + RBS750) and every update after that is a joke, especially from the CBR750 + RBS750 perspective!!!

    im running CBK752: CBR750 on v4.6.5.8 and RBS750 on v4.6.7.5, so not quite sure about the requirement for both CBR and RBS to be on same FW. in fact, the prior latest RBS FW release was v4.6.5.14 which does not match v4.6.5.8

     

    has there been any stable beta FW released for CBR that effects intermittent wifi issues? I see there have been several more 1 star reviews posted on netgear.com with regards to the CBK752 atejwani

    The versions are not fully the same however are on the same base version: v4.6.5.14 which does match v4.6.5.8 and matters here.

    CBR750 on v4.6.5.8 and RBS750 on v4.6.7.5 has been relatively stable for me. My issues are with the modem
