V4.6.3.16 firmware

Anyone familiar that there's a new firmware RBK750 V4.6.3.16 firmware

RBR750 

out for RBR750S

  • There are Orbi Beta Firmware v4.6.3.16 (RBR750) and Orbi Beta Firmware v4.6.3.16 (RBR850/RBS850) 

     

    As they are still under Beta, you would have to request access into the Beta testing group to get them, if you desire to use it right now.

     

    Contact "DarrenM" via Private Message to request Beta access and your reason why:

    It's update:

    • Speedtest Discrepancy
    • Throughput/incorrect speedtest results
    • Stability issues

    Also tends to help those (including myself - using the RBR850) with DNS Errors, that the previous version helped but didn't fully resolve.

  • First check to see if it appears on your RBRs web page. NG has been already pushing v16 out to users systems. 

    What version of FW are you on currently?

  • I have been in email conversations with support regarding apparent bugs and degrading WiFi speeds over time. This morning I noticed Netgear pushed that firmware update to me without my consent! If it truly is a beta version, I'm even more upset. Haven't had any chance to test speeds, stability, etc.. Will report my experince when able.

      Keep us posted. 

      Try a FULL on power OFF of the RBR and RBS and ISP modem for 2 minutes then back ON.

        Firmware Version
        V4.6.3.16_2.0.51

        now to see how it behaves ...
