My Netgear Orbi RBK50 satellite drops wifi speed after evert 2 to 3 days
My RBK50 orbi stellite speed drops from 94mbps to about 40mpbs every 2 to 3 days. When I connect to satellite via ethernet I get full speed of 94mbps. I have a line of 100mbps speed and I get...
My firmware version is V.2.5.1.8
I have tried all below suggestions and patern keeps on coming back.
My sattelite wifi speed only (ethernet speed of the sattelite is fine) keeps dropping from 94mbps to abt 40mbps after 2-3 days.
One more thing I noticed is that wifi speed comes up again after changing any setting in the orbi interface (for example enable/disable MIMO or anything) probably because system restarts.
Lets try updateing the FW on the system.
RBS first then RBR lastly, factory reset and setup from scratch.
May I ask why the system says that my firmware is up to date and there are no updates available?
Also may I please ask whether you are an authorized Netgear Support employee or just a user?
Sometimes the system doesn't report newer FW. Users have the option of downloading and manually installing FW from NGs download site if they choose to do so.
Thank you for your reply.
If assume that if I install the new firmware I will not have to go through each individual device in my house and touch any settings, right?
Also is there a need for factory reset? in the case of factory reset as well do I have to manually connect again all my devices to my orbi?
