Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
Thanks for the guide on downgrading back to v3. I'll also give it a try.
For anyone in this thread who is defending NG, shame on you. How can you honestly defend a billion dollar company that is signing borked firmware updates and not even acknowledging any user issues? This is a shambles, and they should offer an easy way to downgrade without having to bloody telnet in.
Re: New RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
IF your ISP modem has a built in router already, you dont' have to downgrade to v10, you could just downgrade to last version of v3 then block NGs auto update service to the Orbi router on the ISP router.
The last three firmware updates have changed my system from functional to completely unusable. Dropouts constantly, unstable, unworkable. I've done so many factory resets. I gave up and I've unplugged the entire system, I am using my single ISP modem on the ground floor, and it is much better (actually an upgrade).
The way I see it, I was scammed out of 600 euros by this slimy excuse for a company.
Re: New RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
If I do the v3 downgrade, will auto updates perm be disabled? Or will all these changes through telnet be erased if I do a manual load of a firmware?
I’m concerned that I’m changing something permanently in the router that I may live to regret.
P.s. totally agree with the sentiment that people should stop defending Netgear. The handling of this is shameful. Stuff goes wrong, that’s fine - the making of a good company is how they deal with that. This silence from Netgear is deafening.

From the limited search I did, seems like this box has a built in router and wifi...
Just because it has a router and wifi function, does not mean you can block hostnames from the UI (if that's what you're suggesting) I do know what a router is.

Add me to the list of having non stop issues since this FW upgrade. My wired satellite constantly loses conection. I have not noticed issues yet w/ the router, only the satellite.

Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
My RBR 850 is connected via cat5E to the RBS850, no switch in between
Both the RBR and RBS are running V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
I have done a factory reset and have set up the orbi again and still have the same issues.
the overall speed is much slower than it was before this latest firmware (i have gigabit internet and I tested it via the orbi app at 927Mbps). The Wi-Fi speed is now down to 187Mbps, the upload speed is 231Mbps.
still experiencing connectivity issues when in range of the RBS850

RE: Unstable FW 4.6.3.7, 4.6.3.16, and 4.6.5.14 Netgear software - Still Not Resolved
Can you provide an update from your engineering team as promised on the unstable 4.6.3.7, 4.6.3.16, 4.6.5.14 Netgear firmware releases affecting so many customers with hourly intermittent outages? You mentioned back on 9/16/21 that you would provide guidance and next steps to resolve after reaching out to them. I apologize if I missed anything since but this is still a major issue.
We are all looking for, at a minimum, Netgear's acknowledgement of this firmware issue and preferabbly a commitement/timeline to resolve.

Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Release is UNSTABLE
Just so you guys know, I called Netgear earlier (before I gave the system away) and they acknowledged that there is in fact an issue with the firmware, and they said they get a lot of calls about it. They also said they have no idea when it'll be fixed.
Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Release is UNSTABLE
And they honestly don't care. I end up buying Circles for Parental control because their "premium" product lacked this feature. And they kept promising to roll out a parental control and it took a year before it become available. With a broken firmware...
NG doesn't post when new FW or new information is forth coming. Everyone will need to keep an eye on NGs download site or check here in the forums for updates.

Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
Unfortunately my system which is AP mode downstream from RBR50 due to parental control availability when I first bought it. It just auto updated last night and speed is way down. I tried getting rid of the AX mode on 2.4 as I have seen here but speed still 1/2 of what it used to be. I am going to try to do the downgrade to the V3 although still a little unclear how to do that after reading these posts. The bigger issue is I don't know how to stop the auto-updates. Is there an easy way to do that for people like me who are self taught from these forums and otherwise really know nothing? Thank you in advance

Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
I do have 2 systems. Actually you helped me in the past with my specific settings. Long story but it was related to Netgear's previous update bricking my RBR50. Then I bought the 752 only to learn that there were no parental controls so I have used it in AP mode. I will do the factory reset and manually put in my previous config settings. We will see. Thanks
Re: New RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.3.16 Released
Ok. If you have two systems, be sure that the channels are set manually far appart between each system on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Set one system for channel 1 and 40 and the other system for channel 11 and 48.
If you use the 7 series wifi more than the 50 series, reduce the power output of the 50 series to 25% as to reduce the noise between the two systems. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Ok. You'll have to do the long method then to block.
