Thats good to hear....I've been waiting months for this. This firmware version and lack of a timely response has definitely damaged their corporate reputation. I'm no longer brand loyal due to this.
Furrye38 how do you know NG is working on a fix? Are you an NG employee and therefore confirm this? If not, you better stop making statements like this to confuse people, unless you are on NG's payroll i which case it makes sense.
Ya, not a employee. I'll post how I see fit.
Thanks.
- LOL
That's great mate, you can say whatever, you don't even care you're hurting people!
Great job NG paying this kind of people to take care of your forums. And funny enough always makes sure to have the last words in every threat at all time - spending all his spare time, unpaid? No integrity at all.
I don't care much if you're paid or not. Kudo's for taking this much sh*t, it's hard to imagine you do and keep doing that for free :-) Netgear however deserves all the rant, so by all means, pass it on.
Fwiw, I tried this new version, but it did not resolve my issues. Still experiencing temporary outages on my (wifi connected) server
Only on your wifi connected server device or all wifi devices?
Did you factory reset and setup from scratch after trying that FW version? What I did with mine last saturday after loading.
No using Armor or SPC. Manual channel 1 and 40
CTS is default 64. Though you can try 2347.
I set power on the RBR to 50% as it's close to my NEST controller.
RBS are ethernet connected and they are using v4.6.3.16 FW. No FW update yest for them.
Been a couple of days. No issues as of yet.

I did the factory reset after loading the new version. I think the outages is on all my devices, but on the server I notice it clearly trhough some logs. I have armor and SPC off. The RBS will not get themselves updated. I have not tried the manual channels yet, will give that a try
What brand and model wifi adapter is on this server?
What do the logs say on the server?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?

I will feel it a waste of money, but will turn the 14 ft one off. The other one is at +/- 30ft (some pythagoras + mtr->ft calculation errors)
