RBR20 latest firmware update V2.6.2.104

Ok. Not sure if or when NG will bring out someting for the RBW. 

I'd try the RBR alone with out the RBW and see if the problems continue or not. 

Try disabling DST.

Will do, and thanks again for the assistance!

Let us know how it goes.

So Saturday Netgear called to run technical support on my system. They had me change the channels on the net work and see if that would work, today the router went off-line again and the app reflected to the pink dot. I emailed net gear for a return phone call tech-support.

By the way, for those folks still running V2.6.2.104 on their RBR20, I decided not to do a factory reset.  But I did downgrade the RBR20 firmware from V2.6.2.104 to V2.6.1.36 and all of the issues that I was having (intermittent dropping of internet access) went away.  I left V2.6.2.104 running on the satellites, however.  Again, I'm no longer having any issues.

I’m running router V2.6.2.104 and sat V2.6.2.2. Says most current.

You need to upgrade the RBS to same version of FW as whats on the RBR. IF that still doesn't work, you might want to downgrade the RBR to v2.6.1.36 and mentioned by chrisgoodson1 . I would factory reset and setup from scratch as well. 

[JJJustice]

Ok. I did do a set up from scratch and still have the issue. I wonder why the tech support person didn’t mention the FW not being the same though.

[FURRYe38]

Ya they need to be on same version for the most part.

[JJJustice]

I don’t graded the firmware on the router to RBR to v2.6.1.36. Hopefully this will work.

My rule with routers is to NEVER upgrade the firmware - every router I have ever had (multiple manufacturers) gets broken by bad firmware updates - seems manufacturers either don't test, or purposely build bad code to get you to buy new equipment.  Most blatant example I had was with Linksys - a final update broke it completely.  When I called Linksys, they said to buy a new one - I got open source firmware and the router worked another 3 years.

Never updating means never fixing security holes...your network must be air tight for that rule. Good luck.
