Orbi RBK852 4.6.3.16 broken (Solved)
This topic is only for the Netgear Orbi RBK852 / RBK853 / RBK854 / RBR850 Introduction: I bought my Netgear Orbi RBK852 last year. It's work fine and I am happy with that until they release 4.6...
- Dec 19, 2021Especially 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.

I'm thinking about buying the 853 today. Just to sum up which of the versions is preffered.
I see the thread as solved. Is it 4.6.5.14 ?
Thanks

Hi,
Not solved with BETA V4.6.7.5_2.1.7. tried everything. Everything went wrong after a firmware update from Netgear.
I advise you not to buy yet until an official version is released with a problem fix.
- Eriksen76Feb 16, 2022ApprenticeI thought this one was OK due to this thread? 4.6.5.14
Otherwise is there a stable previous FW? - FURRYe38Feb 16, 2022Guru
Actually v4.6.7.5 is stable and has way better results than v4.6.3x or v4.6.5x versions.
My 8 series is working well with v4.6.7.5 loaded. NG is working on Improvements and seems to be going in the right direction now.

Thanx for your assistance, will try that when I recieve the router. Hopefully this product is way better than the MR60/MS60 which got my hair turning grey.

Maby I will try to sell it. I don't think coverage of it is working all too well.
I have had it for about 1,5 years.
Furthermore when my kid plays on his room it very often lags with Nighthawk - Even though I have cabled his PS4 Pro directly to a MS
So hopefully this RBK853 will improve overall speed. At least thats what i expect.
At the price level of RBK853 it has to be very good and stable. We have a house of 141 square meters, so 853 should do.
What can i expect?

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Thanks, any comments about what to expect when comparing with old system?
