Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Restoring from a backup does always fix the problem.

Had my first post 4.6.8.2 crash last night. This morning I have reset to factory and re-loaded my backup to see if this fixes the issue.

It does seem this router needs a reset and reload after every firmware update!

Odd. I never had crashes after updating firmwares. Just annoying bugs like the former guest network connection issue to the Internet.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

If it happens again, try a factory reset and setup from scratch with out loading a saved backup from file.

Well sadly I think I'm also going to have to perform a factory reset since updating.  Twice now, I've had complete loss of wifi, and the time it takes for it to come back makes me feel like it is doing some sort of hard reboot (it takes a few minutes to return).  All devices lose access.  Phones, Laptops, Cameras.  Just as if someone had turned the power off at the switch.  At first I was hoping it was a one off, but it happened again today randomly.

 

Up time shows 2hrs 38mins (So 15:39 is the correct time for when it came back online).  Logs don't anything prior to the loss.  All they show is the device re-initalising, then grabbings some IPs, edge router connects, then it corrects its time with NTP and off it goes like nothing has happened. 😐

Ok thanks for letting us know. Ya, a reset maybe needed. I am tracking this as well. Seeing odd system time resets and reboots for unknown reasons. After you reset and setup from scratch, keep track of the system uptime from 1st start and see if anything changes here.

So I'm guessing this problem is user configuration and has nothing to do with the firmware update?

What is the Brand and model ISP modem/ONT the RBR is connected too? 

Can you list me how many devcies, wired and wireless you have connected all at once on the system? 

 

Did you notice the front LED behavior by chance when this happened? 

Any noticable drops in wifi or internet services when this happened?

Are you using the 1Gb or 2.5Gb port on the modem? 

 

Ok, If you would keep an eye on the system uptime and try to track how often this happens.

 

I've already let NG know what I saw with my 7 and 8 series. Will keep on them.

Works stable, except for one serious issue.

 

Issue?   My OOMA Telo is recognized as an Orbi Sat and is not working correctly as a VoIP device.    I've reset the OOMA and I've reset my Orbi RBK753 setup to no avail.

 

While everything else is fantastic, my VoIP service for phone is now completely useless.

 

Anyone else own an Ooma Telo and having issues since this update?

Is the OOMA device wireless or wired to the system?

What happens if you put the OOMA in the RBRs DMZ? Setup a IP address reservation for the OOMA device on the RBR first.

 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Wired.

 

It's fixed now.  While I had reset the device, I had to unplug it and connect the "home" connection to my laptop and reconfigure the device.  I don't use the Ooma as a router, which is what Ooma would prefer but the ethernet port is only the super slow "fast ethernet".   If they released the device with the only change for modern ethernet, I might be interested in their Zscaler security feature, but for now it just hangs off of the Orbi router.

For those having issues, I do recommend the reset and then restore from device configuration backups.   It does make a difference (not only for Netgear Orbi, but for other devices as well).

 

Apparently this is not unique to just Netgear Orbi devices.  😉

Re: New - RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.8.2 Released

Can someone clarify - does a reset need to be done on satellites after updating firmware?  One would not automatically update and was done manually (wirelessly, not via cable).  It now seems to be causing disconnections (it's area of the house anyway).

 

I'm also seeing poor backhaul status since updating.  Taking one satellite offline seems to cause poor backhaul status.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the same issue. I can't access the orbi router after selecting routerlogin.net. It says that this site can't be reached. So I don't have a chance to login at all.

I had the same problem with mine when I first bought it.

 

try plugging directly into it from a computer and enter 192.168.1.1 or possibly 192.168.0.1 into a browser.

Please review the first post this in this thread about doing Factory resets. If you choose to do one, the RBS and RBR need to be reset.

Would you mind changing to the 1Gb WAN Port on the ISP Modem to connect the RBR too? See if this changes what your seeing?

Try 192.168.1.1 as well. If you can't then Factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser.
