Firmware upgrade V2.7.3.22 causes RBS-50 To Continually restart – V2.3.5.30 Works Great

[eddie2046]

Firmware upgrade V2.7.3.22 was automatically loaded to my RBR-50 and two RBS-50 satellites. One satellite works and the second causes RBS-50 To Continually restart. The failing satellite only stays up for about 4 seconds so a challenge to catch the command to change firmware. I have read many reports of this problem. Downgrading the failing satellite to Version V2.3.5.30 as suggested in a previous post worked great for just the one satellite! Is there a patch planned or do I have to downgrade the network and disable firmware updates?

In over four years, I have never seen Netgear announce when new firmware would become available.  One day, "there it is."  It could be tomorrow.... next summer.... or???

If a Factory Reset on the satellite does not fix the problem, it seems you have no choice but to block updates and load firmware that does work.

p.s. I sent you a private message.
