RBK963 6.3.1.21

Any update in relation to this FW? if it was installed, do we need to downgrade? 

WHy was it pulled?

  • Ok. Glad ethernet worked. It should have. Unless the FW is way off or the RBS are in some bad condition. 

    Will keep asking about bringing the RBS self web page services back. It was available on the 8 series early on but someone decided to take it away. Would have been nice to have it here. 

     

    Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

  • I upgraded my AXE Orbi system to 6.3.1.21 very soon after it came out, but then had issues and rolled back.  It was pulled from https://www.netgear.com/support/download/?model=RBKE963 soon after.  I would recommend running the latest FW release on the downloads page or anything that is offered as auto-update.  I don't believe 6.3.1.21 falls into either of these categories right now.

      What issues were you having? I didn't notice any difference between this and the previous version.

       

      I would have thought that netgear would make an official communication on the matter

        I was told that it was pulled due to failing testing and should have not been posted in the first place. So only use what is seen on NG download page or here in the forums. 

         

        If your having problems please post about them and give details and we'll try and help you out. 

  • Are you sure you dont get Maintenace page? I do get it on mine

      There is not Maintenance page on Orbi systems. Are you referring to the FW update page?
