Thank you for your patience,

I agree and asked them about this.
Can't presume to know what developers are doing.
No router mfrs announces when new FW is forth coming.

You guys can try this:
FW fixes don't happen over night.
But removing the current broken version so that people don't get the broken update pushed onto them or simply not advertising the broken version seems like the sensible thing to do.
Since they haven't done that you have to conclude they aren't taking the complaints seriously or simply don't believe the problems are serious since the developers obviously never use the routers themselves.
So when will there be an update to help with this ... one year ... two ...

I have an RBK752 system running firmware version 4.6.3.7 and am seeing the router disconnect and turn magenta. I have a wired connection to the router and am unable to connect to any devices on the LAN or access the internet while in this state. If I launch the app it shows the status of the router to be red/disconnected. I can recover by using the Orbi app on my phone and rebooting the router once the router reboots then everything is good. Is this yet another problem with the firmware? Any ideas on what may help stabalize this or do I have to go back to my time capsule until Netgear can get it fixed? Any ideas on when Netgear will be releasing a fix for this debacle of an update?

In other words just go back to my 10 year old time capsule.
