Wow it’s been so odd of a issue I can’t believe someone else is seeing it as well. But I wonder if the fw release is regional as I’m just not seeing it. I’ve done a factory reset as well(which stinks because I’ve renamed all my connected devices and you lose that on a reset) and still doesn’t show to the fw you’ve listed. I’ve google searched it, checked the support page for the rbk852 and still all I see is the 3.1.5.23 and not the 3.1.6.11 that the thread was originally for, the fw you’ve been able to upgrade to. Anyone else seeing a link or been able to/not been able to get to this newer fw?

- sabeensNov 07, 2019AspirantThat’s a bummer. I’m assuming beta testers accounts for the difference here on why some have it and some don’t?
I’ll give it a bit more time but in our household it’s been a fairly debilitating bug that’s wearing thin. We’ve cut the cord so our only source of tv is those appletv boxes. a quick hot fix could have been sent out imo but it is what it is I suppose. I’ll return if it goes on for much longer and stick with something that works. It’s a ‘release to retail and beta test later’ world these days. - FURRYe38Nov 07, 2019Guru - Experienced User

I went to the Orbi update page and forced the update as soon as I saw it was live.
My guess is Netgear is still testing it so pulled it back.
Hopefully they will release it soon — my network has bee SOLID and the AppleTV 1080 hasn’t crashed since. - FURRYe38Nov 10, 2019Guru - Experienced User
