RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
A new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9 push for the RBR750 router and RBS750 satellite came out today.
Since I always install the latest firmware when it comes out, I updated my RBK753S system. The update went flawlessly, all devices populated successfully and everything is stable. I don't notice any issues. It loads faster and seems to have better speed.
Time will tell in the next couple of days.

Re: RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
1. On the support site for RBK753 I don’t see the new version yet even though orbi app says there is a newer version available.
2. The port forwarding is broken on the 3.2.16.6 due to nat-loopback and Netgear had given me a firmware with hot-fix for that. Need to confirm that the issue is fixed on this version before I upgrade.
Can someone who has upgraded confirm the 2nd one please.
Thanks

1. Netgear never posts immediately, when a new firmware comes out, as they randomly push to users first. I updated the day it came out and see no issues whatsoever.
2. Port Forwanding is NOT broken on the 3.2.16.6 firmware, as I have never had the issue, and have been successfully using 3.2.16.6 on more than 2 dozen RBK753 systems. The 3.2.15.32.1.3.25 Hotfix you refer to was an older version of the firmware, that may have been patched, for certain user situations. But, from what I can see, it does not affect Windows 10 users. I would guess your NAT loopback may be caused by possible double NAT setup, gaming system, or some device or setting on your system.

On the first point agree, although they have posted for RBR850, but haven't done so for RBR750 and I am sure they will get around it.
On 2nd definitely the NAT loopback issue is there and in general for most folks port forwarding will work so long as you are using it from outside of your local network (which is mostly the case) but for the machines within the network, it is broken. Please see the discussion here. Also the hotfix version of the firmware that I am currently running is V3.2.16.6_1.4.7.

I've read that discussion here and still disagree that all Netgear Orbi RBK753 (RBR750, RBS750) users are experiencing this issue. The OP in that discussion was using or at least posted the wrong unreachable test site, possibly by accident. The site we use is mypublicip.com.
We have dozens of devices setup using port forwarding, with no issues whatsoever.
Could you give me a configuration, you have where you've experienced that port forwarding is broken? We will gladly test it on our end. I would need whether you are setup as Router, (with or without Double NAT) or Access Point, specific devices that fail and actual ports attempting to use, and whether TCP, UDP or both?

Not sure if there is value in restarting the discussion. But to answer your question, I am using in Router mode, no double NAT. A pretty simple straight forward setup. Are you able to confirm what is the value in this file
/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables
On the new firmware. And also if you have any router not upgraded yet what do you see there in that file for those.
Basically if the value is non-zero in this file this will preventent NAT loopback. And the hotfix was only to echo 0 in this file.
Thanks,

I'm not saying re-open the discussion. But when I see a post that says this is an issue with all RBR750 units, and I'm not experiencing it, I like to know why. Unfortunately your info does not help, if you can't show your devices that you have port forwarding settings for.
I checked both bridge-nf-call-iptables and bridge-nf-call-ip6tables and both are empty files.
I also checked my RBR750 test router that has not been updated to the latest firmware and both files are the same.
I had no NAT loopback issues, with the previous firmware and have none with the latest firmware.
If you could give me the port forwarding I asked for, I will gladly try to duplicate your issue. I hope this answers your question.

You can upgrade to test your own loop back configuration. If it's not fixed, then downgrade. Check the RBRs web page to see if the new version is available there.

Re: RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
Wouldn't the typical way of releasing a hotfix version assume that the fix rolls foward into new (and higher numbered) versions?

I would hope so, but given the file (/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables) is empty (info provided by Mstrbig, unless it is fixed some other way, I don't see same patch applied.

The patch was possibly created for those experiencing the issue you have, and others that don't have the issue would not need it. That same patched firmware was given to me to solve an IPv6 issue, but it didn't work, so I reflashed 3.2.16.6.
I've never experienced the NAT issue posted. I'm thinking, certain configurations mixed with certain devices and Internet Service Providers, and even possible Regions, could possibly play a role in some users experiencing certain issues while others don't.
And as an example the issue reported, with IPv6, that I and others experienced, was not experienced by @FURRYe38. He stated he has never experienced it.

Although interestingly enough, it does have 0 in the file
root@RBR750:/# cat /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables
0
So interesting to see how the same firmware has different settings.

I checked my "bridge-nf-call-iptables" this morning and my file is blank.
I'm guessing maybe your file did not get overwritten when you upgraded your firmware.

Re: RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
upgraded to V3.2.16.22_1.4.9 via the ORBI App, within 24 hours Orbi was having trouble talking to FIOS router, even with static IP assigned the orbi WAN port was showing no connection to router.
had to factory reset the orbi to get it to work, once i went thur new setup, orbi seems to be working
i did end up changing the port on FIOS router and changing out ethernet cable.
just posting in case other had this issue with firmware upgrade.

It's always a good idea, after a firmware update, to reboot the Orbi and an internet modem or modem/router one may have.

Re: RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
I would power OFF both RBR and FIOS unit for 30 seconds, then back ON with the FIOS unit first, then RBR.

Re: RBR750 and RBS750 new firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
Upgraded my CBR750 to firmware 3.2.16.18 and RBS750 Satellite to 3.2.16.22. I've noticed that the Orbi app on my phone and the web interface on the CBR750 no longer show which devices are connected to the satellite. Only shows devices connected to the router itself.
If I log into the satellite directly I can see the connected devices there.
