Re: Nothing will connect to my Satellite
What firmware version is running on this Orbi 770 system?
(The most current version is 10.5.19.5)
Do you have a portable device with an Ethernet adapter that can be temporarily connected to the satellite?
(because so few devices are equipped with Ethernet these days, I purchased some Ethernet to USB adapters from Amazon (under $20 each) that allow me to connect my smartphone, tablet, Chromebook, laptop, etc. to Ethernet.)

All devices show firmware up to date. I’ll connect up a wired device to see what happens. Whole network is slow and balky. Latency through the roof. Even when connecting to the router.
Netgear says I'm up to date, but it's 10.5.18.xxx
RBE, Not RBR
Actually your not up to date on FW. There is one more recent FW avialble for the RBR and RBS here:
Orbi Firmware Releases | NETGEAR Communities
New - RBE770 / RBE771 Firmware Version 10.5.19.5 Released
I recommend updating the RBS first then RBR lastly.
Follow this on how to apply the FW manually:

I don't believe it. Tech support guys are always telling me to check my firmware level, but this time, it worked perfectly. I just don't believe it.
Thank you so much!
