RBR750 Guest network intermittent connection issues
Hi, I have purchased the RBR750 over 3 months ago and still working with netgear support to fix this issue but luck. Hence trying the community to see if anyone else has noticed this issue. ...

I can confirm it was fixed after a week. đ

My current firmware version is - 4.6.3.7
My ISP is Xfinity, my download speed is about 500mbps and upload is 15 mbps, I have an Arris T25. My current(old) working Orbi is RBR50.
Home size is about 5000 sq ft and both satellites are less than 30ft from the router. With netgear support, we tried setting multiple different channels based on least used by neighbor's and that did not help either.
After the latest firmware, I don't recall if we did yet another factory reset - did this multiple times earlier, I will try this next.
Thanks

Support reached out to stating that I needed to download another firmware 4.6.3.16. I did ask them if they wanted me to factory reset and they said no. Even after this firmware update I'm still facing the same issue.
So is it fine for me to factor reset with this firmware even though they said no and try it out?
Thanks

Factory reset. Walk thru the setup wizard. After you complete the setup wizard and don't enable Armor, pull the power adapters on the RBS first. Pull the power adapter on the RBR for 1 minute the plug back in. After the RBR is back online, plug in the RBS.
Keep in contact with NG support if this still continues to have problems with Guest Network.

Did what you had mentioned, it seemed to work for a couple of days. Since I had daisy chained and used the default org wifi names, I now renamed my wifi, turned off my old Orbi and made this one the primary. Did the same thing again in terms turning off everything, starting up RBS and then RBR, etc but the issue started again.
So it worked for a day may be and then started again.
Thanks

Same issue here. I did notice if I turn off and on guest, then it will work well for a day or so. :(
