Orbi RBK753 (the forum pulldown doesn't have the correct model) Last week, the firmware update was forced onto my RBK753 overnight when all of my systems were doing backups. All PCs to servers and ...
Once again, a forced firmware update has f'd up my Orbi RB853 mesh network. This is the second forced firmware update that was not tested and was unstable. My WiFi speed is dismal and I have constant drop outs. This is an unacceptable practice that must be stopped.
Netgear, you need to make auto firmware updates configurable as disabled and default to disabled.
Both bread winners in this household are working from home, and 3 kids that are online for school.
I have no other option then to go back to my mesh network using 3 Asus RT-AX88U's which is more configurable and much more stable.
I will not buy another Netgear branded device from this point on.
Good luck keeping customers!
