Firmware V2.1.1.16 auto update
we'll be removing the v2.1.1.16 firmware from the auto update server over the holidays and will resume pushing it in the new year. Firmware will still be available on product support pages for manual...
Hello,
I have had a few disconnect issues, but have been more fortunate than others in that regard - but I am glad you are still investigating those issues.
One issue that I would like investigated is the backhaul speed between the RBK50 and the RBS50's. When I purchased my Orbi setup (one RBK50 and two RBS50's), I was getting transfer speeds of 100MB/s or more between my PC and my Synology. After I updated the firmware (on the third day - to 2.0.0.74(?)), the speeds have been abysmal. I am lucky to get 5MB/s. The connection is good between the satellite and router. They are 23 feet away from each other.
I have tried everything other users have recommended in these forums (turning on/of beamforming, MU-MIMO, fast roaming, daisy-chain topology) to no avail.
I hope that this is being investigated by the team at Netgear.
Thank you

Can you tell which units your PC and your Synology are connected to? What does your setup look like? Are you daisy chaining (R -> S1 -> S2) or wagon wheeling (S1 <- R -> S2) the satellites to the router? Can you turn off the satellites and hook up both devices to the router, and does the connection speed return to normal?
