I have RBR850 system

Has a fix been found for this issue? I have RBR850 system, and have always experienced the exact same issue after any disruption in power. Most of my smart home devices can't find the network after a power cycle. My fix has always been to rename my network, then rename it back to what all of my devices recognize. It takes a random number of times doing this before it works (today it was 5 times), and everything reconnects. I've tried factory resets, and everything else anyone has suggested with no luck. I'm about to go buy another system, and it won't be Netgear. Please tell me someone has resolved this! Thanks!

Re: I have RBR850 system

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 
How many RBS are deployed? 
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? 
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? 
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?  

 

Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
