So Netgear support called last night. They have sent me an updated FW. V4.6.3.16. So far it seems good, and my speeds are back to normal.

Will that FW also work with the RBK853?
Were can I get the FW v.4.6.3.16? I'm having many problems with v.4.6.3.9... All my 4 Satellites flashing colors all day long, disconnects from each other... slow speeds... I can't contact SUPPORT because they only give you 3 months free tech support and I don't wanna pay for something they screwed up with their last FW update...
Any help is welcome.
Thanks!
- TheobuckSep 11, 2021ApprenticeI suggest contacting Netgear support. Or the moderators here may be to help others. I am not sure about sharing here. (sorry that sounds selfish) I would be suspicious if someone here shared a file that could be malicious.
- intergeek14Sep 11, 2021StarCan confirm we have been asked to not share the firmware link. Please reach out to the mods listed in this thread.
I’ve had it installed for 3 days now and it’s been back to the stability and dependability that I loved about this set up.
- TheobuckSep 14, 2021ApprenticeSo after a few days on the updated version, my network seems better. Speeds are now normal for the service I have. My devices are more evenly spread out on my system (before, they were mostly on the RBR750). All and all, I think the updated FW fixed my issues. Also, I am sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable sharing the file NG support sent me. Please don’t message me privately. Reach out to FURRYe38 or one of the moderators instead.

I installed the Beta last Thursdsay and so far I have not seen any of the issues I was experiencing prior.
Speeds are back to normal and the router has not gone offline and gone unresponsive.
Still tyring ot understand how the additon of parental controls made the units totally unstable. According to the release notes there was not much to this release only 5 bulleted items.
