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.
After two factory resets since last post and breaksown again after apprx. 1 hour each time (random which of the satelites and frequent LAN issues) - I decided enough was enough. I went with the Asus XT8, flawless setup, and works like a dream so far. App is working well, and show the real status. Speeds are the same as with the ORBI RBR854 system I had.
Going back to the retailer with a reklamation (we have two years in the country I live in), hopefully they return it back to NG.
As said Furry I respect what you do and your intentions - but be honest from the beginning - so people know what they potentially are up against, when it comes to the risk of NG FW.
Goodbye NG - you lost a loyal customer throughout the last 10 years - spending a lot of money on your once fantastic now crap products. I will never ever recommend NG again to anyone.
I wish I could do the same, but unfortunatelly I can't return the product anymore otherwise I would have done it instantly. It's unbelieveable how a company like NG can't get their s%$# together and come out with a proper firmware. The most frustrating is that you pay for an expensive system and expect quality on both the product and customer support. Neither is there! It's unheard of to recommend your customers to do a reset of the system few times a day, not to mention to factory reset and go through the setup when things are not going well, and still not have the expected results.
To be completely transparent NG support reached out and ask to test a trial/beta firmware, which I'm currently running for about 3 weeks now. It's been more stable than 4.6.5.14 but still quite a lot of disconnections and the speed performance is not consistently stable (sometimes reaching peak values but most of time is way below what it's expected) I'll collect some debug info and sent it back to NG, but eventually I'll move back to 3.x firmware version as it's been the most stable for me (RBR750 + 2 x RBS750)
I know for sure one thing: I won't be recommending NG to anyone, ever!
