Firmware update will brick your router

[mondonada]

DO NOT INSTALL Latest Firmware  or it will brick your router.  Just innocently clicked update router when the app asked, 5 minutes later blinking red light on the power indicator, so long weekend.  Googled online and it says corrupted firmware, nice, and of course there is only a 12 month warantee on the hardware and no other support unless you pay $149 for a year.    Seriously it is only 16 months old!  Links on the support to manually tftp a replacement are all broken so I wait on general tech support 50+ minutes on hold tech support had me plug it into different outlets, try the power cable from a satellite, try the reset button for 30 seconds then wait one minute.  that is all the confirmation they needed to say my router is now faulty!!!!! will not be buying a netgear product again.  $30 to get next day delivery after it gets processed

Yeah this firmware makes my modem shut down until a restart, had to go back to Comcast modem and wifi.

My Orbi automatically updated itself to the latest firmware and I have not had any problems. I was worried and annoyed the device updated itself, but relieved it went well. Did you try to reinstall the update? It's possible the download/install was corrupted.

If uses also manually download the FW update files to there PC and upgrade the satellites first then the router, NG recoommends this method as well.
