Orbi RBK852 4.6.3.16 broken, WiFi drops every 15 seconds, autoupdate can't be stopped
Hi I write this in a very distressed and disgusted, appalled state that a company like Netgear thinks releasing a firmware update that wrecks your home internet is acceptable. Today everything from ...
Been having way better results with this FW loaded:
I created this post back in September 2021.
Netgear has yet to fix this. I tried the current 4.6.7.13 firmware and the Orbi RBK852 (1 router+1 satellite) keeps dropping the WiFi signal every 20-30 seconds. Identical problem from 6 months ago.
This is in AP mode.
Had to roll back to 3.2.18.1 to get this working again.
Netgear are a disgrace and clearly don't give a f*ck.
All recommend you contact NG support and aks for help and information regarding your system.
I've not seen this issue with mine while in AP mode. There maybe a HW issue with yours.

Please refrain from using bad language in the forums. Not helpful.
Thank you.
- I did contact them. They told me next firmware update would address.
As for your language comment, failing to provide a working product or solution is akin to theft. I’ll stick to my censored language, thank you.Ok so I put my RBK853 v4.6.7.13 FW online in AP mode behing my R7960P router that just go new FW update. Going to let this run for a few days and monitor my system. So far have not seen any issue yet and the system has been online for just over an hour. If any wifi drops, my camers will let me know or anything else that stands out.
