Owner of RBK853 (1x RBR850 + 2 RBS850)
After doing the automatic (online) upgrade system got unstable, kept going offline. I then powered off the router and satttelites, after it stayed good for a little while. But then wifi degration of speed and outages.
I finally managed to downgrade the router RBR850 to v4.6.3.9. That seemed to perform well and remained stable.
After attaching the sattelites - still at v4.6.3.16 - everything still seems to be OK for now running 12 hours ok .
Not a really nice experience, got me stressed out for a while - I am counting on this product to be stable especially considering its price. Very hesistant to perform an upgrade in the future.

How did you do a roll-back of the FW for the RBR ? I managed this for the Sattelites, but not for the main router. Om the question: “Are you sure No /YES “ I only van choose for the NO option !

How did you manage this at all? It says firmware update failed regardless - it won't even show the warning of downgrading to a lower version.

Rolled it back - went to the new firmware. I'm nervous about doing all of that TELNET stuff but maybe I will try.
I contacted Gearhead and was told they'll send me "Troubleshooting articles" but will have to contact 888 NETGEAR once I have run through the troubleshooting.
I've never seen support be so small (90 days) and then have 0 accountability for the QC issues at NETGEAR. I'll let everyone know if I can uncover anything else once I've been given those "Troubleshooting articles" (which are probably not as good as the people here with their epic responsiveness) and once I have called that number.
