- This makes my satellite unstable and it keeps rebooting. Turned my hardware into expensive paperweight.
Was there no $&#&$ testing?Really...my RBS is working fine. No reboots or bricking. This was tested pretty well from what I got.
How did you load the FW? I presume by what is mentioned in the first post?

I have CBK752 (CBR750 -Firmware Version V4.6.5.8_2.0.54 and RBS750)
Updated RBS750 from Firmware Version : V4.6.7.5 to v4.6.7.13.
Didi not work well at all !!!
- Wireless Backhaul - RBS750 did not sync with CBR750
- Wired Backhaul - RBS750 "maybe" synced with CBR750, however Web Admin UI showed disconnected and did not give it an IP address
- After trial and error got the IP address and logged into RBS750 Web UI
- RBS750 Username/Password did not sync with CBR750 and was default (admin/password)
Tried this a few times, and after a couple of hours gave up.
Disaster - Rolled back to V4.6.7.5.
Do not know how Netgear does QA testing during alpha, beta testing and prior to release.
CBK752 firmwares have been buggy since August 2021 and the last good versions I recall being:
- CBR750 (Orbi Cable Router) Firmware Version 3.2.18.2
- RBS750 (Orbi Satellite) Firmware Version 3.2.18.1
Blanca_O - Please let mw know if the Netgear team needs any help with testing CBK752(CBR750+RBS750).
I cant update. On my pc (windows 10) on the firmware update page/screen, the router & satellite #1 shows the new update but Satellite #2 is saying “service unavailble” its not even showing the current firmware number. Because of this i cant update the router or satellite #1.
satellite 2 is pulsing white.
what now??
Update:
Attempted the update to 4.6.7.13.
The firmware update screen on my windows 10 PC - in my home's Orbi website was only able to show the new firmware for the router & one of my satellites. The other satellite said “service unavailable" and that satellite blinking white. So not able to update even the router or the one satellite.
I unplugged the 'bad' router, then re-scanned for the new firmware. Success.
With the 'bad' satellite still blinking, I performed a re-sync. success.
Back to the firmware update screen. After clicking "Check' - nothing. Zippo.
I then tried a manual (after downloading the satellite from the download page) but after clicking 'upload' got a failure notice.
NOW WHAT ?
Oh - the Orbi App on my ipad shows Satellite 1 as the bad one - where on the PC in the Router web page it says Satellite 2. I cant even comprehend that.
AND why is the model name & firmware version missing from the 'good' satellite?
this screen shot taken 5 minutes after checking for firmware - and still saying "please wait" see photo.
Finally. I hope it fixed the guest network's Internet issue that others and I had problems with. I hope I don't get new issues when I upgrade maybe tomorrow since others are using the Internet right now. Unless, Netgear decides to force autoupdates on us again like last time! 😕
I am running v4.6.5.14 and see v4.6.7.13 available now. I too hope it has fixed the guest network issues, my son still complains it’s not stable when he comes over and connects to it on his iPhone 12. I would like to upgrade today, but am hesitant, but would like to think it’ll solve the guest network issues? My son and a friend of his are coming over tomorrow evening to do their Fantasy Baseball Draft and it would be nice to have a stable guest network running for ONCE?…….
Review the first post in this thread. I recommend manually updating FW. Update the RBS first then RBR lastly.

http://192.168.1.1/start.htm is so slow with its checking. Also, a "good" satellite keeps showing "Service unreachable" and no Model Name.
Rebooting kind of fixed it. but geez! http://192.168.1.1/start.htm is buggy with missing model names, no new firmware versions even though there are newer versions (had to do manual update on an outdated satellite), slow downloads and upgrades, etc. After finally updating the router and two satellites, it says there is a newer (uh older firmware) as shown in my uploaded screen shot/capture in a satellite (manually updated earlier from my updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC). Huh? How do I fix this?
Be sure to read the first post regarding updating. Remember this is a manual FW update post. It may not be available in the RBR auto update section.

I'm a bit of an early adopter and have an RBR750 w/2 RBS750 satellites in each of 2 houses.
Tonight I used the auto-update feature through the web interface for one (on a MacBook Pro) and the iPhone App for the other.
Both updates worked without error, and both systems have been working well since. And all labels are accurate, a bonus!
I might suggest patience during auto or manual (done previously) installs. It's not snappy and takes a bit.
Thanks also to FURRYe38 for much patience and perseverance.
Glad yours is working. Ya, auto updater seems to be a mixed bag sometimes, works for some, doesnt' for others. Patience is needed. I remember working on my friends Orbi 50 series years ago. Man, it took hours to get it updated and finally online. Orbi AX is a bit faster however, patience is still needed.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡I update the RBK7503 with two satellites. Only the router was updated. The satellites were not.
I tried updating manually by downloading the zip file. It says
Any advise?
Need to be sure you unpack the .zip file. Then select the unpacked FW file on the RBSs web page. Send the FW file directly using the RBS web page. Use MS Edge or Firefox for this.

I did. I unzip the file and upload "RBS750-V4.6.7.13-signed.chk". The earlier post was the error message I received.
This is what my admin portal shows.
Should one sat be blank? seems wrong
Should I have different firmware versions?
Do I have to manually fix this?

You need to update the RBS first then RBR lastly. Review the first post regarding manually updating FW.

That seems like a silly requirement!
These things should be able to deal with firmware versions being misaligned
Might be a dumb question but; After upgrading the Satalites and Router should I reboot the system? I thought I had read that in a pervous thread.
I recommend powering OFF the RBR and RBS for 1 minute or longer then back ON with the RBR next then RBS lastly. What I do when I update and don't factory reset.

I updated to 7.13 a few days ago. No issues so far 😊
And I saved my configs to avoid trouble 😎
Automatic update is not seeing this new version. Attempted maunal update via iOS and Windows 10 and it fails at uploading the firmware zip. Given some of the comments here, I will hold off until a more stable version is released.
I saw no issue with uploading FW using a Windows wired PC after the .zip file was unpacked. Be sure your unpacking the .zip files to reveal the actual FW.chk files that get selected on the RBS and RBRs web page. Send to the RBS first, the RBR lastly.

- Actually I rebooted both router and satellite. Downloaded firmware again on the windows machine (did previous download on iOS to iCloud). Firmware applied manually and running now. Perhaps was zip corruption or something.
