There may be an issue with this firmware.
Since my personal system updated to this new 4.6.3.7 firmware, the RBS units are going pulsating white and never recovering, and the RBR unit is constantly going pulsating white and re-connecting. This is happening quite often.
I've run several tests and pretty much ruled out everything else. So today I'm going to roll back the firmware to see if it resolves the issue.

Same issue here.
The connection to my satellite has gone from rock solid, to regularly disconnecting. One of the satellites regularly goes to a pulsating white light followed by a solid blue light - I assume this means it is losing and re-establishing connecting to the main router.
Never had this problem on any of the old firmwares, just since this one auto updated. I have performed a full factory reset, but the issue continues.

Why do you keep posting the same link to everyone having this issue? Nobody here wants to go read another whole thread when a broken update was forced on customers... If you want to be helpful, post what would be helpful...
I clicked your link and without readying everything, I think you want people to do the following?
"Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? "
So now consider this... I'm using my router happily for months, all of a sudden without warning, Netgear pushes a poorly tested update and it is broken. People who aren't very tech savy are supposed to start searching through forums or randomly know that there was an update pushed?
I wish the QA engineer's phone number was public, I'd forward all my wife's disgruntal calls directly to this wanker...

Contact NG support. Downgrade your system.
- jamacphotoSep 03, 2021ApprenticeLol contact and downgrade (without the complicated blocking stuff as will just upgrade ) not an option for me.
That be like car company saying just patch it with duck tape till we can fix it lol. This company is pathetic just lucky for now issue has hit me like one else every 2 weeks or more and reboot fixes for me.
