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.
Could you please summarize what settings are you currently running with on your RBR750 system running 4.6.5.14? (if I understand correctly your message you've achiveved 90% stable system so I'm curious what have you done).
As a side note, I've had an NG engineer (a riend of FURRYe38 character) reaching out to troubleshoot my issues. He told me 'half of the company is on Xmas vacation, so not a lot of engineers working on these firmware issues. That puts things in perspective, how much NG cares about customers (moreover the issue itself was caused by their own **bleep**ty firmware)

Now to defend Orbi. This system was the best ever had and loved it for several months.
Then had several months of headache but now is like 90% like before ,for me with minor but still issue so yea not solved lol.
Yea have to agree at how they are Handling this.
I am a senior programmer and either fix and go Foward or roll back to last stable.
Yea I am wasting my time but it is crazy with their auto update process just create a new firmware with the last stable and we all back to 100%.
It just makes no sense. Sadly I am at a total loss
And yes you can jump though hoops to get that last stable firmware but they could do it in 15 min.

So Furry has a friend who works at Netgear? That explains a lot.
Nice for Netgear to give their employees Xmas vacation for months. Most companies focus on the actual holiday.
