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.
Same here . New firmware did NOT fix the issue. Maybe my "hardware" "broke" at the exact same time when NG pushed the new firmware on us. What are the odds?!?!
I upgraded to 4.6.5.14 a few weeks ago and initially was stable. Fast forward a few weeks and I'm still getting devices dropping off the wifi and the mesh has become unstable again.
I'm not repeating the same lengthy process to fix this, so I'm returning them to Amazon. For £530 I shouldn't have to be spending so much time trying to get this stuff to work. Working from home has probably made this so much more important to work now, which perhaps has exposured Netgears poor testng before shipping out a new FW version! Annoucing their new hardware versions to support WIFI 6e also isn't the best timing on the forums with customers having so many issues.
Switching to BT complete wifi discs until next year (cheaper and worked ok before) Next year I'm renovating the house so will be putting in wired connections to each room and using a wifi node for any devices which need wifi - these could be Orbi's but probably not, something a little neater and mounts on the ceiling would be perfect.
Good luck everyone!
