RBS & RBR 750 updated to 7.2.6.31 frm 3.2.16.22-management interface inaccessible

If you configured Dynamic IP address for the RBR and FW was updated, during the reboot, the RBR may have got a different IP address from the host router. Thought orbilogin.com should work as well.

If you don't find that the RBRs UI is not accessible from the host routers given IP address to the RBR and RBS, Then do a full factory reset and setup from scratch and setup from scratch.

This IS mentioned in the FW update notes I posted here if problems are experienced after a FW update:

Also for AP mode, to be sure that you can access the RBRs web page, it's recommended that you set a Static IP Address configuration on the RBR for AP mode so that the IP address doesn't change and you know the IP address and can get in when needed. I use this all the time and have never had a problem getting into the RBRs web UI after a FW update while in AP mode. 

Try posting here in the forums before calling NG phone support. It's free here.

I followed the instructions and had to manually update after looking for auto updates for 3 days and got nothing. Did the sats first, then the router..They came back up fine and I have internet, but no management interface at all. I have rebooted, no luck. I have power cycled, no luck. I can ping the router and a port scan of ports 0- 99999 shows no open ports. Wifi and internet are working tho.

My orbi system is in AP mode. I might be able to telnet in and fix it, but Netgear disabled telnet, because I guess we don't actually own these products?

 

I am in awe that 2 YEARS AGO this problem was discovered, and today it is still an issue. Unreal, I'm done with Netgear. And the best is they want to charge me for support. If they can't handle firmware updates, I should trust them to troubleshoot issues? 

 

Anyway someone mentioned that Netgear pushed an update to their routers to fix it, but no way in hell am I paying for that. Are there any community members who figured out the fix? And sorry for the rant but this is just unreal.

I should have NEVER updated
