Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1
We’re excited to announce that OrbiOS 2.1 is now available for immediate download here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.asp...
All is working well with update to 2.1 firmware. Manually updated satellite and then router with no problems or issues. All setting maintained with update as well. Satellite is wireless 5GHz. Ten connected devices working and showing correctly as wired (one wired connection) or wireless, most on 5GHz wireless, with the exception of two devices that have only 2.4 GHz.
Upgraded the RBK50 to 2.1.1.12 as per support advice, multiple disconnects on WIfi, had the system a week. Now getting download speeds no higer than 30MB, service is 200MB. Tested against modem direct, getting 200MB down. This might stablize the wifi, we will see, but not at the expense of the download speed. Seems like others are seeing this same issue. I did reset the router and reconfigured from scratch, shouldn't ahve to do that, no change. How to fix this?
