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?
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.

Thanks. What IP, or URL I should use to block the auto firmware update? This might be the ultimate solution....
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 believe if you go ALLLLLLL the way back to 3.2.10.10, enabling telnet was still in the debug page so you can go in and block the updates. The instructions are listed by a poster in one of these recent threads (that included the magic F12 key) about how cracked up these updates are.

Do you have a router at the ISP modem/ONT point by chance?
