Possilble there could be a HW failure as well. If you tried everyhing, I'd guess the HW condition would be a factor as well. Not everyone is having problems with recent FW betas.

That is my point. Netgear isn't being transparent about this issue and it could very well be limited to a serial number range since it isn't occurring with all units. I guess we will never know. The issues I was having with the newer firmware version(s) was resolved once I rolled back to a 3.9 version of the firmware but we all know that was a short-term fix until the system auto updated again.
I simply don't have the time, the faith in NG, or the patience to continue to mess/live with this unreliability.
Regardless, I am over it and have moved on.
Well I see you never gave a fatory reset a try nor didn't give v4.6.7.5 version of FW a try either so there is still doubt on your system weather it would be FW or HW. However you have moved on.
So Good Luck.
You have neither have any idea what I did nor do you seem to fully read before posting.
Yes, I tried a factory reset (see my earlier post today) several in fact. Yes, I tried several firmware versions 4.6.6.11 (sent to me be NG) and 4.6.7.5 (from a thread in the community).
Good luck

Hi All - I rarely post to the boards, but can use some help with my RBR850 & (3) RBS850 Satelites.
I've recently moved and use Frontier Fiber 1.0 GBS into the RBR850. Over the last week I have had several internet outages (and there has been no loss of service as I have contacted Frontier on every occasion) and Satelites dropping off for hours on end.
I am currently on Firmware V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 and by reading these boards believe that this FW version stinks. Don't know when I received this version (everything was great for quite some time), but I am seeking some advice on more stable versions to manually move up to.
Hopefully you all can assist by sharing a solid FW version (approved or BETA) that will help me restore a more solid connection experience. I work from home and have to game playing kids & all TV's stream (vs. cable) - so we need the stability that Orbi has provided in the past.

Thanks in advance for your information.
Please give this version a try:
Review the post information regarding upgrading steps.
Please give feedback and experienced in that thread.
Thank you.
