Especially with Netgear, always do a "Pin Hole Reset" after a "New Version Update" and input the operational information by hand. NEVER use a Backup File. Especially across different versions.

That isn't my experience with V4.6.6.11_2.1.4T1, System is still tragically unreliable. With this firmware my router appearsto be doing a soft reset several times a day and WiFi still drops several times daily.

Glad (envious) that it seems to be working for you.

I got V4.6.6.11_2.1.4T1 from the customer desk for RBK850 and this also works perfectly for 3 days now.

I also heared they are working on an new generic firmware version which would also be ready within weeks.

Um. I think you need to do the hard reset after the firmware update. Use that pin hole to reset your router. I don't really know is there any difference between the soft reset or hard reset. But hard reset work on me. So try to hard reset after you install firmware

  If you still having warranty. Just bring the router to the repair center. In your case, the issue maybe not caused by the firmware. Maybe there are some hardware failure
