New - RBR750/RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.9.11 Released
RBR750/RBS750 Firmware Version 4.6.9.11 Released
New Features:
Adds an auto-firmware upgrade enable/disable option <Long awaited feature is FINALLY HERE!
https://kb.netgear.com/...
This past week I upgraded to fiber optic from cable internet service, getting excellent download/upload speeds of 900+ Mbps. Updated firmware 4.6.9.11 has helped several of my devices connect to the closest unit (router or satellite).
I also setup a network rack in my unfinished basement area and moved a majority of my IoT hubs to the rack all connected via Ethernet. I think placement is the big key in allocating the WiFi connections around my home and having relocated the router and 2 satellites I have a more overall consistency with coverage now.
Still on the fence on this one, just got my RBR750 and loving the speeds and connectivity, but hearing some move to this firmware and decreased coverage makes me hesitate…is that still an issue for ya’ll?
If your not having any problems, I'd leave it. You have that choice now.

I’m finding significant lag in this update on my RBK753 system, causing several seconds’ worth of hold when I try to access the Internet on my devices — once the connection is made, the page/app loads quickly, but getting to that connection is taking several seconds, like when I bring up the Apple App Store on my iDevices, I get a spinning wheel with “LOADING” for at least 6-10 seconds before the App Store presents. I had initially attributed it to the iOS and iPadOS updates I’d made, but I’m at my mother’s house using her Xfinity WiFi modem/router, and while her Internet speeds are half what I have at home, the response/load time is within 1-3 seconds.
I have a Motorola MB8600 cable modem at home, and yes, I’ve rebooted the modem several times and factory reset the Orbi system after installing this update.
Does this happen with just the RBR alone while the RBS are turned OFF?
Is Wifi Private IP address enabled on the apple devices? Be sure to disable this feature while at home.

Yes, happens when the RBS satellites are unplugged and only the RBR is running.
Private WiFi addresses are turned off, but the lag remains.
