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
...
This is seriously pissing me off. I did a factory reset but who knew it actually keeps the latest firmware installed and it did not fix my issue. FFS.....
Perhaps using all the non DFS channels isn’t neighborly. It doesn’t make sense though for daisychain to impact WiFi speed in a one satellite config.
If I had a few hours alone with the Orbi, I’d try a downgrade test just to prove if there’s an actual change of speed involved.

- I update RBR/ RBS to v.44 a few days ago and setup from a factory reset.
Everything is perfect except when I download apps to update on IOS devices over the air , music stops on my Sonos system Boost setup wired directly to the RBR... and i stream only TuneIn ...it got worse when I stream Tidal music of course . I got this problem too on previous firmware version. Is there a way to correct it? Thanks.What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using?Try enabling WMM, Beamforming and MIMO. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Why do I have to do all those modifications when all Sonos are wired to the router RBR?
Thanks again
