Cannot Download Latest Firmware For RBKE953S
Is anyone else having issues downloading.85 firmware from the the Netgear site for the 950 series? The 960 firmware downloads just fine but the 950 just gives a script error when trying to download it. Also webgui and app says I’m up to date currently on .82 firmwareNETGEAR Orbi RBSE960 AXE11000 constantly dropping WiFi connection
Good day, I currently have 1 router and 3 satellite in my home which is 2200sqft. I have it on auto channels I have owned the Orbi RBSE960 AXE11000 system since 2022 In 2023 all my WiFi devices keep dropping off the mesh network and it does the spinning icon to connect to the WiFi for about 30 minutes to one hour before finally connecting. a work around I’ve try was to rename the WiFi network and I was able to finally connect back quickly since than every month I find myself having to rename the networks and I have to connect all 40 devices back to the new network. this has gotten worse in 2024 I’ve contacted NETGEAR they sent me out a replacement router. This did not do. The issue in my house i then purchased another satellite to see if i was dropping due to interference I have been playing with the channels for a few months but the results are the same for all channels the kitchen is a dead zone zero wifi while cooking. should i just try another mesh system? i was thinking about getting the new orbi but what if the same thing happens. if anyone can help me figure out whats going wrong i would greatly appreacate it960 Duplicate Devices
Hi All I’m having issue with my internet currently and awaiting ISP to fix it. While waiting I check Orbi Apps and show my current Network Map. I notice there is new additional mesh unit appear in the network connected to my router. Upon checking the new mesh unit is actually has identical product details as my current router. It means the router now appears as ‘router’ and ‘mesh’ in the same network. Why could this happen? Can this be the reason my internet is down? please share some experience if you have any… thank you"Self-assigned IP" on MacOS Sequoia when trying to connect via Ethernet
I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running MacOS Sequoia 15.7.2 via ethernet to my Orbi Satellite. I get the status "Self-assigned IP" in the Network tab in System Settings under the Ethernet Port's name. I do not get any internet access when using it. I've tried rebooting the Wi-Fi network, static IPs, renewing DHCP lease. The same ethernet cable connected to the same port on the Satellite works perfectly fine with an Xbox Series X. I'm not sure what else to do.Use both 6E router/satellite and 6 router/satellite?
I have the 6 and 6E systems. Given the speeds available on these routers and satellites, I do not see the advantage in moving to the 7 system. I have a very large home. The 6E system is about a year old but unused. I have the router and two satellites. I am getting fiber internet soon. I would like to use the 6E system as the main router. Can I also use the 6 system, and, if so, how do I set this up. There are a couple of places that the current 6 system does not reach so rather than investing in additional 6E satellites I would like to use the 6 router and satellite. Any thoughts?I found that disabling all logging and then performing a full power cycle of my 963 system
I found that disabling all logging and then performing a full power cycle of my 963 system—a step I came across in the post linked below (which discusses BE systems)—resulted in a significant performance improvement in my setup, allowing me to have a mucher longer uptime before needing to reboot for system stability. I was also encountering a connectivity issue with certain devices after 5–8 days, which required a full system reboot to resolve. After disabling logging, that issue seems to have been resolved as well. I thought this might be helpful to share in case others are facing similar problems. https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-orbi-be/orbi-be-series-troubleshooting-tips---reboots-and-crashes/2449415Using Wired Backhaul, the internet is slow and jittering
I have similar problem with RBSE960. Using Wired Backhaul, the internet is slow and jittering. On the Orbi Router portal is says Backhaul status = Good When i unplug the cable and Backhaul via 5 GHz, the jittering is gone. On the Orbi Router portal is says Backhaul status = Poor Yes, i have swapped cables, and yes the cables are new standard CAT6 from factory. The problem seem to have started when RBSE960 updated to firmware V7.2.7.15 Could faulty firmware be the problem?
