I see the New - RBR750 / RBS750 Firmware Version v4.6.7.5 Released - which was released in January. Tonite I did a firmware check in my Router Admin - but does not recognize the new firmware. SO - how safe is 4.6.7.5 ? When I begin the manual download process I get a warning that manual updates not safe. I am guessing its Netgear's disclaimer on proceed with caution.

When suggested to check the series number - I thought that meant my 750 could be a series 7 or an 8.
So - if the new firmware was released in January, how soon should my router recognize that a new firmware available and auto download? Should not my router been smart enough to know? Is it safe to manually download the router & satellite "new" firmware? I used quotes since if from January, then to me thats old.
We sometimes just refer to them as Series by the first digit of numerical part of the RBR designator. 7 Series, 8 Series, 9 Series, etc.
The firmware that came out earlier (4.6.7.5 I believe it is) was a beta firmware that needed to be manually downloaded and installed - it was not a final release version. There was a link to that firmware version in one of the other threads in the community.
Since NG has just published the "released" firmware update for the 8 series in just the past couple of days, hopefully the "released" firmware update for the 7 series will follow shortly.
Even when it is published on the download page, it may take a day to two to be pushed to all of the routers or may be a few days before it is set up and seen by the update process. Sometimes NG will publish it on the download page and let folks who want to grab it do so, before they start pushing it to the field. You can check the download page to see if there is an updated version that NG has published.
On the bright side however - Furry usually publishes a notice on this community page when new firmware is available - so you don't have to keep checking the download page. Just keep an eye out at the top of this community page.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite📡
