Got bit again...
Running V4.6.5.14_2.0.54T4 on my RBR which has worked fine for a few weeks until tonight. I think I have narrowed down the issue to satellite connectivity - as soon as I unplug the three satellites and reboot the RBR all runs without a hiccup. I am guessing the wireless satellite is going out of sync (the other two are wired), so I am going to leave that unplugged for now to see what happens.
Rather than compounding the connectivity issues with additional FW updates that are not working I wish Netgear would allow users to roll back firmware and opt out of updates, as is the case with the Nighthawk R7000 at my cabin. I have had more issues in the last 2-3 months with this system compared to the first 2 years of ownership. Unbelievable.
I have been a Netgear customer really forever and after this I am fairly certain I will not buy another Netgear product.
I have tried a few of the higher numbered firmware versions floating around here, but I am back to
V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
That version (with 1 sattelite wired, disabled the other one) seems to be most stable, the others give long lasting disconnects
Did you power cycle the RBR and RBS after the newer FW was applied or did you try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch?
How did you perform the FW update? Thru the RBRs web page or thru the RBSs direct web page?
Mines been working great with v5 loaded:

> I first did the RBS. I don't think it should matter if I went through RBR or RBS, they both open the same page on RBS, the difference being that the RBR is logged-in and maybe aware of RBS being upgraded. I think I went through the logon via RBR.
The last downgrade didn't work too well for me, I could only access the access point from the (still upgraded) RBS, the RBR was not ok. So I went back to RBR again at v4.7.6.5. Still seeing some minor outages that I think shouldn't be there (looking at an server-app that is constantly online). Wat is a proper way to measure it in your opinion, is there a tool of some sorts or can we check on the RBR?
Next time you might go directly to the IP address of the RBS and log in there. What I did. Though it shouldn't matter.
What kind of "minor outages" are you seeing? Wired and wireless? Whats happening here?
