Orbi RBR750 drops internet every 24 hours
Every 24 hours, my Orbi RBR750 will drop the internet connection and not work for any devices, even those hardwired in. ALL devices plugged into it or on it's wifi do not get internet access. I can i...
I have exactly same issue on my RBR750.
I need to stay at version 3.2.16.6 to make it work, any version above will not work (disconnection few times a day).
I was able to prevent upgrade in the past month by setting "auto_upgrade_enable=0" and various other configs.
However, recently since last friday/saturday, my router got upgrade to 3.2.18.x every night, and I wake up with no internet connection everyday. I need to rollback to 3.2.16.6 each day, and I also tuned various other configs to see if auto upgrade can be disabled, no luck so far.
there are various configs being set automatically during startup even after I clear these configs:
such as
control_cloud_backend_return_url=https://http.fw.updates1.netgear.com/rbr750/V3.2.18
...
control_cloud_backend_download_ur
...
some suspicous auto upgrade pipe is opened, such as:
... root ... S abFifo /tmp/auto_fw_upgrade_daily /tmp/data2/auto_fw
... root ... S abFifo /tmp/auto_fw_upgrade_force /tmp/data2/auto_fw
I have spent many hours fighting with NG support for this issue one/two month ago without any resolution.
All I need is a way to complete disable auto upgrade until the issue is fully resolved.
I really appreciate someone could help.
Are you powering OFF the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds then back ON after the units update?
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch as well. https://kb.netgear.com/31486/How-do-I-reset-my-Orbi-system-to-factory-default-settings

I tried factory reset multiple times before, e.g., after upgrade to 3.2.16.22, 3.2.17.12, after roll back to 3.2.16.6. none of these work.
The only version that works for me is 3.2.16.6 or before.
I got auto upgrade again last night, and then disconnection few hours after upgrade (unplug/replug the ethernet cable, or check the connection status on the web gui page will connect router back to internet).
Plan to rollback 3.2.16.6 again, Please advice a way to prevent auto upgrade.
- Agree fully with everything outlined above. Clear firmware bug with only that version or earlier solving the problem. Now that my RBR750 is automatically upgrading daily I’m ordering a new mesh system from another company. I keep fixing it by downgrading firmware to one that works and the router keeps breaking itself upgrading to the broken firmware. Unable to get it to stop upgrading. The telnet solution isn’t working or an option. Need to get fixed ASAP since router keeps breaking the downgrade fix!
- It has started automatically upgrading to the 3.2.18.1 firmware every day and I cannot turn off automatic upgrades. It’s fixed and works on 3.2.16.6 but when it Automatically upgrade to the newer version it breaks the Internet IP address renew and release lease functionality as outlined in my original post starting the thread. Firmware upgrade breaks this and router upgrades itself daily even after I downgrade its firmware version.
