RBK750 Series - Firmware Update v4.6.3.7
Hello Orbi AX Community,
We are excited to announce that we have started to roll out new firmware which enables NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls on RBK750 Systems. Customers with RBK750 series ...
I have extactly the same problem after upgrading to the new V4 firmware, the Wifi constantly get disconnected, I have to reboot both the router and the satellite , and it prabably works for a few days and the Wifi became unstable again.
But I sucessfully downgraded firmware to V3.
The "Yes" buttom just got hidden. In the Windows Edge Brower (Chrome Core version), access the maual firmware update page and when you get the warning says downgrade to a lower version firmware. Press F12 to open the Debug page, and found the hidden button element next to "NO", and the " element.styledisplay: none" displays on the debugging window under "Styles" tab, remove the "none" and "Yes" will show up. Then click it to update the Firmeware.
But I still cannot find a way to disable the auto firmware update, I assume it will later update to V4 soon?
- Thanks for that. I was able to go back too. I found an easier way I think to find it. Top left button (Select an element in the page to inspect it). And click on the “No” button and then the “Yes” button is just right below it. Thank you again.
- When it rebooted unfortunately, It went back to 4.6 again.
Me too. Auto upgraded to V4 firmware after reboot...
Many thanks, I was also able to display the "enable telnet" checkbox on the page http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm but clicking on it is not wotking because some action code seems to be missing on the web page to enable telnet.
With telnet access I was then hoping to disable automatic update.
DO you have a 2ndary around that you can use infront of the RBR? If you do, you could block the auto update feature with this router and prevent the update to v4. Until NG fixes this issue.

Unfortunately, Netgear said they removed the option for a user to deselect 'autoupdate'...In order to prevent the router and satelites to auto update:
in Advanced Security, I blocked 2 sites in the firewall:
updates1.netgear.com
Now the router is unable to download the FW update as you can see in the log files:
[site blocked: www.updates1.netgear.com] from source 192.168.2.5 Thursday, Oct 07,2021 12:54:26
Auto update is impossible now!
Personally I managed to roll back to Firmware Version V4.6.3.9_2.0.50
Keep my fingers crossed the WiFi network is stable now
At the same I invested EUR 1800 in a high end wifi system finding myself in this situation. Pretty scandalous Netgear!
I can confirm that doing this does bring the YES button back on the browser window. If users do this, you may need a upstream or other host router infront of the RBR to block NG update services to prevent the system from auto updating back to v4 after reverting back to v3.

Sorry all - I'm just confused about how to "downgrade" to older firmware.
Where is a YES button on a manual update page? Are we talking about browsing to older firmware (that I've downloaded from the firmware page for the RBK852 page) and then trying to browse/upload it? It says "failed" every time.
In my younger days I was better at this - any guidance would be appreciated. THANK YOU

THANK YOUI feel for ya, it is rediculous that Netgear made this so complicated, even when they put out an update where they could have enabled the YES button. There are some older posts in this thread that talks about hot to do it, but unless you have a network device in front of your Orbi that is capable of blocking sites, the downgrade won't keep.
I have had the same issues. I was able to downgrade to RBR750 3.2.18.1.
When will NG resolve the issues with RBR750 4.6.3.7?
