WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

Hello, I have orbi RBK753 and I too have received the notification of this new firmware version 4.6.5.14 I have not yet installed it. Has anyone installed it works fine and without problems? Thank you.

I have installed this version and everything seems to be working fine - the update took place automatically and did not requiure a manual power off/on to resynch the satellites
- Mr410Oct 08, 2021StarThat is great news. I received the update on both router and satellite. I’m so bold that I updated the satellite via the app while at the beach, firmware installed, satellite rebooted. Network is up, devices are connected. No issues. Speed test looks fast, no complaints.

Good to hear.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I also just updated the firmware using the admin access to 192.168.1.1, Update went smoothly, and now both Main and Satellites are on the latest version. My reserved IP addresses carried through with the update, and so far everything looks good. I wasn't having any issues prior to the update, but only after I reserved IP addresses for everything on the network and turned off the guest network. I'm not sure I will even mess with the guest network since that seemed to be a source of problems previously...
