New Firmware 1.4.0.18 released
Bug Fixes: Fixes the add-on satellite sync issue. Supports the NETGEAR Orbi app. http://kb.netgear.com/000036450/RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-Version-1-4-0-18
I did the update without any issues, took less then 5 min, no preformance issues
Got major speed decrease on iOS devices - dropped from about 200 Mbps to less as 20 or sometimes even 10 Mbps (measuered with Netflix / speedtest.net App).
Aynone else experienced this?
Any clue on how to correct this?
Hello nlrela
I would try to log into the orbi and go to the wireless settings and try changing the wireless channel and see if that improves the speed. also are your other devices getting the high speeds and didnt experience the loss of speed?

Hi DarrenM
I have changed the channels unfortunately without any positive effect. And all devices are affected.
Only difference is, that I installed FW 1.4.0.18 .....
Yes I am noticing that too, iPads, iPhone in my house are lot slower also android phones, tablets. Laptop is fine, hardwired speeds fine. yes did factory reset after updating Firmware and tried different channels only change being Firmware.
If you are willing to test you could try to load .16 back onto the router and check if the issue is fixed so I can report a issue with the latest firmware.
