WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.
Satellites are still randomly rebooting, but the router itself is working. At least disruption is minimal, my devices are just switching between router of satellites. Less disruption, but annoying.

yes same to me, i moved now all home automation related staff to a cheap 2.4ghz wifi to have at least those running stable. i have one rbr750 and 4x rbs750. I did a lot of try and errors the last month but nothing helped to have a stable system. it s really a shame to deliver buggy firmware to a commercial product. if i look to the wireshark traces i m sure they are "calling home" to send data about errors etc so i think netgear should have enough data to fix it. i m happy to have another beta if netgear needs beta testers. and fyi i have enough distance between the devices. i have a stable router (opnsense without any issues on other vlans with cheap wifi mesh systems) there are only my other cheap wifi devices but enough free channels between. also the wifi devices have enough distance to the orbi devices.
