I can only assume I got the upgrade. I cannot use the app on android or a browser on my desktop to admin. How do get into the admin now?

192.168.1.1 doesn't work in a browser on a wire connected PC? 


I would factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard. If you have the files at the ready, after the system is setup, update the RBS first using there web page, then the RBR lastly.

    Hi - I downloaded the firmware earlier today and have just popped it on this evening.  Manual method, connected to RBS webpage and uploaded to that one first.  I then did the RBR from the main webpage.  Had a weird issue with the RBR in that as soon as I clicked "upload" it said it was done / reporting v4.6.8.2 as the firmware.  Needless to say I didn't believe it. 😁

     

    Repeated the task on the RBR and sure enough it said "you do realise I'm already on v4.6.8.2" but I continued anyway and this time it correctly uploaded, took a few minutes, and then rebooted.  So not quite sure what happened the first time around.


    Powered them both down for 2 minutes as per guidance and just powered on the RBR first, followed by the RBS.

     

    All working again. 😎

     

    Will report any issues if I find any over the coming days.


    Thanks.

      OK up and running. I recommend doing a full on factory reset and setup from scratch. Saw a odd problem with some devices not listed or seemingly being connected in the RBRs connected devices page. Factory reset cleared this out and now all devices are displayed and connected. Also RBS didn't want to re-connect wirelessly after the update. It connected if I ethernet connected the RBS to the RBR. After the reset and setup from scratch, RBS connected wirelessly successfully. Will be ethernet connected in it's remote location. 

       

      Wired speeds are good while connected to a CBR750 in bridge mode:

    Same thing for me, no web or app access - wired or wireless.

      Factory reset and setup from scratch. I had to do the same thing with mine.

        This is a totally unacceptable answer.  So now I have to spend my time(very valuable as I'll never get it back) to get a system that was working back working again.  I have many DHCP reservations and it is painstaking to reenter them. 

         

        Netgear should not be automatically breaking or destabilizing working systems.  

         

        What is so difficult about adding an option do disable automatic firmware updates?  

        I also don't give a crap about their stupid Game Booster. Maybe people should get outside once in a while. 

        What I care about is having a stable reliable network. Which apparently is not Netgear's priority.
