RBK750 Series - Firmware Update v4.6.3.7
Hello Orbi AX Community,
We are excited to announce that we have started to roll out new firmware which enables NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls on RBK750 Systems. Customers with RBK750 series ...
When it rebooted unfortunately, It went back to 4.6 again.
Me too. Auto upgraded to V4 firmware after reboot...
Same for me, It's the first device I have that automatically updates the firmware without user validation and without the possibility doing a roll-back !
How can Netgear force pushing automatic upgrades without having prepared a roll back procedure in case of issues ?
What's the f.... !
Netgear is a network expert company and should know you don't push firmware upgrades whenever they want.
The best practice is to let upgrades validated by the user.
It seems Netgear don't want to let people downgrade to the previous firmware maybe because of the new SPC feature (Supports Smart Parental Controls) in version 4.6.3.7 for which you have to pay.
Netgear prefer selling new features and let people having issues instead of helping people rolling back to the previous more stable firmware.
Hope automatic updates will not be done for upcoming firmwares otherwise my Orbi system will directly go to the trash bin...and I will not recomanding it anymore to my family and friends.
- Issues solved!!!!!! I just did a factory reset as suggested before I boxed this POS up to return to Costco - everything is working great now. New system was less time and frustration than fooling with this. Never again Netgear!!!!!!
I returned my RBK750 and upgraded to the RBK753S from Amazon. However, your router WILL autoupgrade in the middle of the night...if it doesn't, please let us know how you prevented it. Netgear said that they disabled the feature for users to deselect the autoupgrade...
