WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

Silly questions,
Not had coffee yet
A factory reset ….does them mean have to re add manually all your wifi device ? All 79 have cameras, Alexa s lights, temp and other sensors like doors.
So if have to manually adding back then sorry factory resets multiple times a day are not valid WHEN there are more than 10 devices.
Thanks all for your suggestions of factory reset and saving off but sadly I understand you are provided the ONLY solutions but as a software developer the only solutions when a firmware fails is Netgear rolls back firmware to last stable
I have down this personally for programs in my 20+ years of programming
Like other companies they are being brave and testing in production lol (this is the problem with modern programmers and I fight it all the time )

Not if you use the same SSID name and PW during the setup wizard or configure the RBR manually for same SSID name and PW.

Chiming into to add myself to the "this didnt work" list, still experiencing the same issue as others with the new firmware (satellite cycles, connection lost).
Been through the troubleshooting steps, now I'm just waiting for a firmware fix.

Be sure to let NG support know.

Same here . New firmware did NOT fix the issue. Maybe my "hardware" "broke" at the exact same time when NG pushed the new firmware on us. What are the odds?!?!

Try manually re-installing FW using a wired PC and web browser?
Factory reset and setup from scratch?
