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.

Don't stop laughing yet :-)
There comes the best. The MR5200 5G mobile route (800 USD), you cannot put in front of the Orbi RBS850, because the IP passthrough avoidance functionally is not working as intended. Guess why - another NG FW issue :-)
At least NG Product management is trying to step up here - instead of sending the "Super User" in town

Not quite sure what you are referring to about NG Product management - if you are referring to the Furry character, I don't think he's an NG employee but some yahoo that SOMETIMES has good ideas but is more of a broken record with "be sure you backup" "here are some links" and "not everyone is having an issue" "NG is aware - give them time" blah blah blah. As far as I can tell, NO ONE from the company has been participating anywhere on these forums in relation to this firmware saga.

Thanks, glad someone appreciates us. Only here to help out where we can. We already know problems that are out of our handes for those who have problems and need NG to fix there problems. We can only do so much. Forums are for user to user help and information mostly. We all know about everyones frusttrations. Not much else we can do. I have been advacating to NG when I can in regards to users problems. Anything beyond that, users need to contact NG support and let them know about there problems. That alll.
And not to sound unprofessional, but some of you JA users out there make it hard on us to help out sometimes. It's very un-called for and un-necessary!!!
Have a great weekend. Happy Holidays.
