UPnP send/receive on RBR850 stops at MAXINT

I have already posted this but on the wrong forum (regular Orbi).   I use a software called PeakHour to monitor internet traffic from my Mac. It uses UPnP to obtain this information from the router...

What FW version is that?

For anyone interested and for completeness; this was solved in the firmware version that broke the admin panel and still works in the patch they released for that.

I'm now on V4.6.8.2_2.1.9.

 

I had encountered this article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/netgear-fixes-bad-orbi-firmware-update-that-locked-admin-console/. This article points to a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/uq57b3/my_orbi_access_is_restored_without_factory_reset/i8rleeo/?context=3

 

So I sent a DM to Christine from Netgear and indeed, a new firmware version was pushed towards my Orbi. All working fine now.

 

EDIT: spelling.

    Thanks for the feedback. First thing I did after regaining access to the admin panel was to create a backup indeed.

     

    Apologies for asking a noob question, but how do I mark the topic as solved?
