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 ...
I have extactly the same problem after upgrading to the new V4 firmware, the Wifi constantly get disconnected, I have to reboot both the router and the satellite , and it prabably works for a few days and the Wifi became unstable again.
But I sucessfully downgraded firmware to V3.
The "Yes" buttom just got hidden. In the Windows Edge Brower (Chrome Core version), access the maual firmware update page and when you get the warning says downgrade to a lower version firmware. Press F12 to open the Debug page, and found the hidden button element next to "NO", and the " element.styledisplay: none" displays on the debugging window under "Styles" tab, remove the "none" and "Yes" will show up. Then click it to update the Firmeware.
But I still cannot find a way to disable the auto firmware update, I assume it will later update to V4 soon?
Genius move! Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately, Netgear said they removed the option for a user to deselect 'autoupdate'...
In order to prevent the router and satelites to auto update:
in Advanced Security, I blocked 2 sites in the firewall:
updates1.netgear.com
Now the router is unable to download the FW update as you can see in the log files:
[site blocked: www.updates1.netgear.com] from source 192.168.2.5 Thursday, Oct 07,2021 12:54:26
Auto update is impossible now!
Personally I managed to roll back to Firmware Version V4.6.3.9_2.0.50
Keep my fingers crossed the WiFi network is stable now
At the same I invested EUR 1800 in a high end wifi system finding myself in this situation. Pretty scandalous Netgear!
