Hello danielfoster
Are you on the latest .34 firmware?

Thanks, Darren. I just updated to the .34 firmware. Incidentally, how do we know when there's a new firmware upgrade available (besides having to login to orbilogin)? The wifi speed issues are resolved for the 4th gen iPad. But both of our 3rd gen iPads are still capped/throttled at 20 mbps. All other devices are getting over 100 mbps. Any further thoughts? We do have those 2 older blu-ray players attached to our network. Should I remove those from the network or would you suggest I go back in and disable these settings:
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices
Enable MU-MIMO
Thanks again - Dan
