Orbi rbr850 goes offline daily sometimes twice per day

Don’t bother with all these suggestions as none of them will fix it. The dropout problem is known to Netgear. The firmware update that they forced to the router/satellites in October is the culprit. This causes satellites to disconnect devices forcing them to attempt to connect to the main router (which is often further away). The drop from 5ghz to 2.4ghz and the attempt that devices have connecting to a router further away causes the problems. Even wired satellites are impacted by this problem. They also removed the option to deselect “automatic firmware update” back in August-ish and so we are kind of stuck with it until they release a new firmware update to fix the issue. So far there is no news on when they will update from the current 4.6.3.16. Sucks big time but netgear won’t publicly acknowledge their mistake so I guess we just have to wait. There are other problems with that update which caused some devices to disconnect and reconnect to a satellite that is further away which also degrades the performance. It is annoying because for 10 months of this year, the whole system ran like clockwork - brilliantly. Call netgear and force them to address this issue sooner rather than later.
