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 ...
It appears that NG released the beta to production last night. When I checked this morning the router was updated to 4.6.3.16_2.0.51. I then reset the router and satellites. As of now, things are working well. Speeds are good and connectivity to all devices appears to be stable. The reset of the router and satellites appears to be a key step with this update.

About time! Can't wait to get home and see if mine was updated... Oddly, NG had reached out to me in the past few days about my issue being endorsed by L2 Technical Support - hopefully OBE now. Thanks!
FYI, user are encouraged to factrory reset and setup from scratch after v16 is loaded. Once set up again, please Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

https://kb.netgear.com/000062080/How-do-I-back-up-the-configuration-settings-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-SystemWhy can't Netgear keep old settings? It's annoying to reconfigure. :(
Things change man. FW code, features, some things get out dated or removed, all kinds of crazy things. Specially when going from one major version to a different newer major version, like v3 to v4. I get it, should keep working thru FW updates but FW is faliible and not perfect. So resets are needed. Then make a new back up to file for use on the new version.
