Still waiting here.....is Netgear going to fix this broken firmware ? This is ridiculous. Is anyone looking at this or waiting to see how many people complain? I left ASUS due to a similar issue with crap firmware. Anyone else with ideas or a potential newer FW?
Have you opened a support ticket to let them know what your experiencing?
NG doesn't announce if or when new FW is forth coming.
Do you happen to have a upstream router you can use in front of the RBR?

- How can I do this? It says my complimentary support ended on 6/16/21 and I either have to pay for Gearhead or ask community. Thoughts? My wife and I keep losing calls and meetings due to this.
You can contact a forum moderator here and let them know:
There any upstream router infront of the RBR?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

I am on a Verizon FiOS 1 Gig connection, and I do not have any other router present. Since my previous ASUS ZEN WIFI system, I have not been using the gateway router and set it up directly to my own system. I'm assuming I'd have to open the ONT outside to get more information on it?
I have an RBK852 system that was purchased in March of this year (3/18/2021) or so. It's been absolutely PERFECT until this firmware update. I said I'd never leave NETGEAR after the first 6 months (and based on my ASUS Experience which they entirely refunded me the ZEN WIFI router cost via check - as they knew there was an issue).
- My recommendation would be to swap out your gear with a Ubiquity dream machine. That's what I'm in the process of doing. You can mesh them and they support a cabled backhaul but you'll probably need a switch if you go cabled backhaul since the port count is low
