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.

Thanks for letting us know. Glad your system is working better now.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves tine if a reset is needed.

I updated my RBK753 system (router plus two satellites) a few days ago and have not had any issues. I used the web interface on my iMac to update all the devices. Everything seems to be working fine, including a gaming PC connected via LAN to one of the satellites and multiple iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks, as well as smart speakers, TVs, Hi-Fi, thermostat, security camera, etc.
new update, 11/7/2021
as of this writing i have been having problems with ORBI RBR750, i have noticed she has and will drop connections which cause me to reboot, and after that i loose both of the the satillites, it says they are disconnected and i will have reboot her again just to get them to come back online, and the 60 devices in my home keep getting tossed off the sats, with a reboot or power outage,with google wifi after a power outage the devices would be there when google came back online.....this has been a real pain....
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?

Good morning.
It sounds like your Orbit setup is similar to mine and I too am in Florida, but a bit further north on the west coast. We get similar power disruptions from wind/storms. Have you run speedtests with your setup since the firmware upgrade and if so, are you getting expected speeds on wired connection to the RBR 750?
We're on Spectrum with a 1GB connection and my wired connection speeds through the RBR 750 are about half what the router is receiving from the Spectrum modem. This started happening after the firmware upgrade but I can't pinpoint the timing for sure so it may be unrelated.
Thanks.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Are you speed testing at the ISP Modem directly with out the RBR in the mix?
Have you tried updating to the beta thats available?

Spectrum came onsite today and my speed issues have been resolved. The issue was with Spectrum, not the RBR750. Thanks to all for your recommendations and advice.
