New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update
...
I don’t understand why this firmware version is working for some and not others? The download speed on my iPhone XS Max. has halved since this update but upload speed is ok. I ran the built in Speedtest on the Orbi and it confirms it is getting the max. speed from my broadband provider so it’s the Orbi. All the advanced options are ticked in wireless settings. Anyone else notice download speed halved but upload ok since the update?
Mine was definitely slower with v44 than v210, but not half.
This might not matter in your case since your speedtest was good prior to latest firmware update, but give this a shot and see if it makes any difference. If you already did this, then ignore.
- Disable 20/40 MHz Coexistence
- I tried that to no avail. I also tried disabling and re-enabling advanced settings also to no avail. Something is dragging down the download speed and I don’t know what :(
