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?

I have the RBR850 system with three RBS850 satellites.  Two consistently say service unreachable and the model name is blank.  I only ppaid @ 1500.00 or so for these within the last few months so I guess perhaps that was not enough, but it would be nice to have the firmware fixed (4.6.3.16) so I don;t have to worry about it.  Any ideas appreciated.  Resetting does not work.

      No modem.  Direct fiber connection from LUS Fiber.  Has worked fine for years with prior iteration of the Orbi and with the 6 for months.

        Well.  Third time was the charm.  Disconnected and reconnected and resynced all satellites that were giving me the odd messages (no model number showing; could not connect to ...).  Suddenly, all is right.  Connection issues resolved.  All info shows on webpage.  Hope the next firmware update is trouble-free.

        So after re-setting up my 8 series almost two days ago. been online and stabe:

        Firmware Version: V4.6.3.16_2.0.51

        armor-bd: 2.2.95

        seal: v2.0.25-0

        seal_services: v2.0.24-0

        spc-circle: 3.17.1.5

        CPU Load: 10.48%

        Memory Usage(Used/Total): 336 MB/874 MB

        System Uptime: 1 days 17:42:26

         

        Only thing i noticed is that 1 of the RBS was cycling front LED WHITE to BLUE when I got home from watching a movie. I decided to ethernet connect the RBS while it was doing this. Plug it in for several hours. It stopped the cycling. After a while I unpluggred the ethernet cable. Front LED cycling hasn't returned. Orbi app reported correct configurations for wireless and wired modes. Other then this, system as been working ok. AX Mode enavled. Traffic meter enabled. No Armor as that already expired.
