Hi,
As a developper I understand we can have bugs.
But as we are not allowed to downgrade this f...g firmware version why Netgear don't temporarly push a new firware 4.6.3.8 that is the same as v3.2.18 so that everyone can recover all services that are now down and so that we can all use again our Orbi system that is now fully useless because of this new firmware ?
Then when Netgear will correct all 4.6.3.7 bugs (no matter how much time it will take, 1 year or 2 years I don't care ...), they would just have to push a new version 4.6.3.9 !
When a mistake is done everything has urgently to be done to restore the service.
I really don't understand WHY WHY WHY... Netgear is letting all there customers in such a mess for a so long time while in the same time we all know that previous firmware v3.2.18 is more stable !!!!???????
RESTORING THE SERVICE for everyone is the most urgent PRIORITY !
Customers are not Netgear Beta testers !
I really don't care how you will restore it but please solve it urgently especially since the solution already exists !
Regards,

This has become the norm in the communications, electronics, networking, pro audio world. Manufacturers are pushing out new product that is really not fully tested. I own a piece of reording gear that is on its 11th firmware upgrade in 6 months, to fix abnormalties and bugs.
I have another piece of gear that has been replaced 3 times because of overheating and locking up. Both units are processors, which are basically computers.
I have been in constant contact with Netgear, and I know for a fact they are trying to fix the issue. I gave them all my debug logs and backups, as well as access to my systems. I'm sure there will either be a fixed firmware or patched stepdown version soon, as there are too many end users experiencing the exact same issues.
