Can't Downgrade RBS50 Sattellite Firmware
I'm trying to dowgrade the RBS50 from 2.7.0.70 to 2.5.1.16 but get the following error when manually trying to install the firmware: This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file ...
I've upgraded the firmware to V2.7.0.70 on the RBR 50 and applied the settings you've suggested. Both the RBR50 and RBS50 are on the save versions of firmware now. Currently getting ~130MB throughput in my basement office with RBR50 located upstairs on 1st floor. The RBR50 is getting ~350MB directly connected to cable modem. RBS50 is located on 2nd floor of the house but I haven't checked it's throughout yet.
So far, so good. I'll need to moitor it over the next few days to see if I get performance degradation over time or not. Will keep this post updated.
Thank your for your help. :-)
Sounds great. Glad you got it working.
Back with the original problem.
I've been getting good performance (120 MB - 200 MB) but have had some slower times, sometimes under 30 MB, but still able to function. Then today, inexplicably, I lose all connectivity to the RBR50. I tested it with my deskyop, laptop and phone. No wireless. I couldn't get to the admin interface. The only way to fix it was to reboot the RBR50.
I'm getting close to buying a new solution. I can't work effectively from home with these continued failures.
Try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://https://https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Thank you, but I've already done that. The RBR50 and RBS50 are on the 1st floor and 2nd floor of the house respectively.
