How do I manually upgrade firmware on my Orbi router using orbilogin.com?
Thank you for your patience,

You are lucky
Trying also to return mine …
1 month of buggy firmware is enough for me and I am not confident anymore in Netgear support to quickly solve further potential any others issues.
I also don’t want to stress and spend hours or days of my time trying troubleshooting each time there is a new firmware upgrade.
Other systems for the same price are having a good support, 2 years support and not only 90 days, integrated antivirus with parental control without having to pay yearly subscription and with a better App and better web interface …
Netgear should be more careful with their customers and should listen to them if they want to stay a long time on this market.

What’s a good recommendation for another mesh system? Thank you. I just got it from Amazon about two weeks ago so I am about to return it too if necessary. I’m getting a lot better coverage than just using the router that came with the ISP.. just not getting the max I can get (gigabit plan).. I saw the AX doesn’t make a difference and without it, it will be slower.. Also, the netgear armor reduces my speed to 300-400 (without I can get the max of 600 wirelessly).
I was thinking about maybe Asus XT8 for exemple at about currently 350€ on French Amazon.
Same price as the Orbi 752 but with little better performance according to some test.
I bought both systems, the Asus XT8 and Orbi RBK 753 at the last Amazon Prime Day. The Asus has the stronger backhaul (upper 5 ghz channels, 4x4, wifi 6 at 4800 mbit , but the system is very unstable, although the firmware, but all the setting options suggests a more professional impression. I have stayed with my Orbi. Since I operate my Orbi in AP-mode, I dont have these problems discussed in this thread.
But I am also disappointed about the behavior of Netgear, not to offer at least for the affected users a downgrade. And I'm not talking about a possible workaround via edge, which I haven't tested myself yet.
