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.

Ok, if you have access to the RBS, I recommend trying this, download the RBS FW v14 file for the RBS to a wired PC. Connect to each RBS's IP address and log in to the RBS web page one at a time and re-send the FW file to each RBS. After the FW loads and the RBS are back Online, I would factory reset the RBS, then turn them OFF. Remove the RBS from the RBRs web page. Then turn them ON and resync them using the button on the RBS and RBR or you can add them using the RBRs Add Satellite menu function. Re-add the RBS 1 at a time.
I would do this with the RBS in same room as the RBR for ease of this process, then move back to remote location.

Yes i did that already(after the settings were applied i plugged off all devices for about 10 minutes and started first the router till it was completly started and then one satelite after the other , for some hours it was good and then the satelites were crashing again. As mention i downloaded the debug log after the outage happened and there i saw the uptime.

Hi
I tried this procedure last weekend but it not helped. It was fine for about 24hrs but it started again.

it just boggles the mind that Netgear puts out FW that is faulty and not well tested - maybe that is common in the tech world - perhaps the company should have stayed with AC vs AX. the AC units didn't have such connectivity issues. Maybe I should have stayed with AC as well. Where are the NetGear engineers - perhaps they left for a competitor :)

FURRYe38 Just an FYI, any messages I've sent to Christine / Darren in the last week or so are still unanswered. I honestly think they won't answer any "incovenient" messages from any users.
