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.
Thanks for the several helps quotes and posts in this forum (and I followed several) but .......... Getting back to the baseline here. I did not purchase a (expensive) product to spend so much time and cancelling several services in the system to get it running and more stable. I would love to install the next stable firmware version and enjoy the mesh system I paid for. So please please please Netgear BRING FORWARD A SOLID AND STABLE NETWORK SYSTEM (firmware) soon. Thanks again to all moderators and helpfull others.
Sadly your baseline complaint has been made many many times via here and many other venues and the response seems to be “don’t care”. my Proof of Netgear not caring is they could be doing and saying more, being more transparent and so much more but have chosen not to. Any communication with Netgear and general has been very short to the point pc and legal and nothing other than acknowledging there is a problem , and that is as far as they go.
Sadly this was a stellar system and kind of still is for some but so sad it has gone on this far.
You have to wonder if it is a firmware and or hardware combined issue as we see then still selling this product and have to wonder if these new users are having same issues. Again spitballing that I’ve we did get a new version would issue go away.
Just makes you think as to the real reason why all of this going on. Sadly all here are outside the Netgear bubble

Well I've now updated the satallites to the latest FM. I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope it goes well.
I've just logged into the admin website and it now shows all three units as being on FM version V4.6.5.14 BUT it's saying there's an update for just one of the RBS units and the FM it's saying to update to is V4.6.3.16 (!!!)
Have you powered OFF the RBR and RBS for 1 minute or more after updating FW, then back ON with the RBR first then RBS?
Probably can ignore the udpate about v4.6.3x.

No, not the RBS's but I did cut power to both the RBR and the ISP modem after updating both RBS. All fired back up now and the when I check for updates on the admin site it's saying no updates available for any of the 3 units which is as it should be. Will now just hope that all stays as stable as it was on the previous FM.
