I’m sure that’s possible but looking at the contortions one has to go through to downgrade and block updates, it doesn’t seem very appealing. Surely it would be easier for netgear to push the last working firmware as an emergency upgrade rather that forcing people to telnet in and adjust internal parameters

Well thats up to NG and when ever they get it fixed. In mean time, users can try the downgrade:
Or wait it out.
Up to you.

You do a lot of good in the community but defending an unacceptable update by telling users to execute actions that most aren't capable of is not helpful.
Orbi is a consumer product. An expensive product. Expecting customers to either suffer with a broken, unreliable network or spend hours trying to fix what the manufacturer broke is just wrong.
Netgear has problems. From orbi firmware to hosing their Disney users to their commercial security holes, they are not a good company anymore.
Please continue helping but defending the indefensible isn't a great look. Perhaps use some of your clout as a superuser to get NG to get their act together ASAP.- FURRYe38Oct 03, 2021Guru
Again, not defending them or condoning either. I'm here to help get there stuff working in mean time while we wait for NG to fix there mess. Don't assume anything. If you feel i am, thats not my problem.
Maybe I do, Maybe I don't. Theres not much we can do aside help users get there systems working again here in the forums. Beyond that, it's all up to NG.
I'll post how I see fit. Thanks.- JeffozOct 03, 2021ApprenticeThis company is a joke. I bought Orbi so I don't have to use my Datacenter knowledge setting up a complicated network again. It's unacceptable for a consumer product that is marketted as hassle free. I did a factory reset in the end to see if it made things better, same **bleep** and even the back haul is disconnected. If I remove the Satellite it ends up as a client device, just like in the early days of the release and firmwares. I know stuff can break but it's totally unacceptable to not shut off updates and her forced automatic updates that break things. Last product I buy from this company due to that policy. Not sure if others have it any better though but probably move to a Unify network, time to take control again...
