I'm confused with all the messages that I'm receiving. First, how do I know if I have received the fix? Secondly, what are the steps that I have to take once I receive the fix? Are there specific download or reboot instructions to follow? Nothing has changed thus far, that is, I'm still able to connect to my Orbi and have internet but I receive messages indicating that I'm not connected nor see my 2nd satellite.
I have a 750 and can no longer access he app or web login. It looks like this is caused my NG and an update. really don't want to have to go do hard reset. Any help is appreciated.
You'll need to contact NG support or Christine. If you want immediate access, a factory reset and setup from scratch will be needed using a wired PC and web browser at HTTP and 192.168.1.1.

After sending my serial number as a direct message I was able to log into the RBR850 and log into the web management interface.
it is worth noting that even a factory reset did not work in my case, but whatever push fix Netgear set up did. I saw the ssid from my custom network identifier to ORBI##, but I could not log in via a browser or the app. Also i think it was in some sort of limp or setup mode since multiple clients could not join the network, and services though the router were limited.
Before the fix was applied and before my attempt factory reset, the router was working, but it appeared to reboot or reset itself a few times a day.
The default gateway but tcp/80/http and tcp/443/https were not reachable either.
I am glad that I was able to recover the router with the help of Netgear, but it took too long to address this issue. My router is out of warranty, and I'd appreciate it if Netgear would improve their QA before bricking a bunch of routers.
I did already order a replacement mesh solution from a different company since I don't want to have this happen again.
I'd like to share that based on all of the great feedback we've been receiving, we have an opportunity to optimize the patch and have decided to focus our efforts on this next iteration of the patch instead of continuing to push out the original patch. Based on some of the feedback, people have had to reactivate their Armor subscriptions along with taking additional measures to recover the Connected Devices list. We are working around the clock to continue the momentum in resolving this issue and hope to have the next patch available within the next 24 - 48 hours.
For the people that have received the first patch, you will automatically be included in the 2nd round so there is no need to spend a lot of time customizing the names of your devices at this time. Hopefully, the original values will be recovered successfully.
For those who haven't received the patch yet, please continue to send me a private message with your serial number and I'll ensure you're among the first to get the second iteration of the patch.
I will temporarily mark this as the solution so our Orbi community can see this update easily. I'll provide another update once I have more information on the progress.
Yes I too cannot connect to my Orbi RBR 753S by app or by webpage. So I have no idea how you can push a patch, but here is my serial number: XXXXX. Very disappointed that this is happening, almost feels like my system suffered an intrusion. But your help would be appreciated. Could someone please notify me that a patch was sent so I can see if it made a difference?
Hello - I’m receiving the same error. “We can’t find your Orbi” and I’ve reset the router several times including deleting a work app on my apple products that I thought could have been interfering with the router. What is your ETA to get this resolved? Thanks, Pat
Pat, you really need to take the time to read other posts. This is a big problem and Netgear is finally working on a fix. All you are doing is adding to the chain and making it longer and longer. I don’t mean to be rude, but read first. Believe me, just about everyone is in the same boat!
1. NG (Christine) can send you a Beta update. This update fixes the web access but there might be some lingering issues with Armor, IOS Orbi app??? I think if you request this update, Christine will PM you with what she needs from you.
2. Wait for the "published" update, no ETA but it sounds like the Beta is going well so maybe soon. The fix might be pushed to your Orbi so I'm not certain how you will know but there is now a banner on this (the NG community) website that says they are working on it so maybe check back to see if it has been completed.
Hope that helps.
PS: I'm waiting for the "final" version as most of my devices are up and running. I do have issues with devices that are fixed addresses...not sure if this is caused by this issue or something else.
A factory reset attempt effectively bricked mine until I provided a serial number and it could receive a beta firmware update. Since I couldn't access the app or web pages and the router was in limbo mode I had to rely on an old router I happened to have to get my house back online. I am mentioning this so others don't get stuck in the same situation I was put in by following that advice.
Thanks for helping out here!! Is your Orbi still in a bad state? If so, let's get a case created for you so our support team can assist you with recovering it. It would also be good for us to learn more about how your system got into "limbo".
I private messaged my S/N so you can push the fix. Could you please provide a time frame when this will be done or let us know about any other notification about the same?
I also don’t know if the fix was pushed to me. I’ve been away the last few days and still nothing works. When I got home today, I did a power cycle of my router and still nothing. Christine, how are we to know if we got that push? And, should I simply power off the router, then back on or should I also reboot my Netgear Modem?
Sorry for any confusion. If you sent me your serial number within the last 24 hours or so the update has not yet been pushed to your system. We found that the original patch was lacking in some minor areas based on feedback from the customers who received it. We are working on a way to push an improved patch/update and have it fully recover the system without requiring action on the part of our customers.
Sent Christine a PM with my info. I called support and they told me 90 day support windows is up lol. Not sure its fair that I have to get support on something you all broke. Hopefully something can be done quick. @ChristineT
