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
Same issue here. All my devices showed slower connection speeds on the new firmware. Just reverted back to .16 and speed is where it was before.
Hello everyone
I have been trying to track this issue with the latest firmware and IOS slow downs but make sure both the satellite and the main router are on the .18 FW some people have had the satellite on a older firmware and it was causing the issue.

.16 had zero issues with speed now with latest multiple wireless devices seeing considerble slowness, iPads, iPhones, Sony Xperia z4 tablet, I can reproduce this on demand have gone back to 16 and speeds are awesome on all wireless devices and then upgrading to 18 with factory reset speeds on all same wireless devices drops significantly seems like a bug got introduced? Or QoS Issue?
Both main and satellite when on 16 after factory reset have excellent speeds then after a few days I go to latest 18 and factory reset speeds drop by a lot on exact same devices same settings there is something not right with the latest firmware, hope next version will address this issue it is critical issue $400 I paid not for drop speeds
