Firmware upgrade capped satellite bandwidth at 50Mbps
Checked for firmware update via Orbi web interface, showed everything current. Visited Netgear CBK40 download page, showed new firmware for the RBS20 (two newer versions). Both updates related to se...
I can add that the router/satellite link is now reporting it is in CONFIG SYNC ... where it use to say GOOD.
Seems there are many reports of the backhaul sync status getting messed up, and no clear way to resolve the issue once it happens.
Other than horrid Netgear Software Quality controls, probably something they introduced when trying to fix the DNS bug.
After a dozen resets, resyncs, and power cycles with and without 1000bT wires connected to the slave, and reloading the CBR40 setup from a few days ago, the slave finally reconnected and created a working backhaul. In other words, it is a random event that allows it to work.
I am reluctant to do a test power cycle or reboot... I just don't feel like screaming right now.
Well FYI, worked with NG support and enginnering last year on this and even sent me a new RBS, problem still happens and I believe its a CBR issue in FW. I reverted back to first version of FW on both CBR and RBS and the problem didn't reproduce. I sent NG all the debug logs and such. I'll reach out again and see what happened to our troubleshooting event from last year.
