Update from me on this firmware. After using sometime I was getting rpoblems with wired devices. These devices did no longer get connection. Power cycle of the (non managed) switch resolved the issue. Howerv it returned then suddenly I noticed that my Andorid S10 phone (latest firmware) did no longer get good connection to the Wifi (no internet and no data).
Switching off router and satellites did only fix it for a few minutes and then issues start re-occuring. Other HW also wired connected did not get any internet anymore.
Full reset of the system (by using the reset button on the back) and then restore fixed everything anf the system is working again. It looks like it corrupted somewhere.
Another great experience of Orbi. I decided to purchase another system and will sell this. Too many issues

WIred should see near 400Mpbs if thats what you get from the ISP. Wireless kind of depends on device and there max supported speeds and mimo antenna support. 2x2 are usually limited to 300-500 range. 4x4 antenna supports much higher speeds.

Same testing device on the new mesh sytem gets 350-450 wireless. Only difference is changing out the Orbi.

What wireless devices are you testing with?
Hopefully keeps working well for you. Keep an eye on it.

Similar results on 3 testing devices. Samsung S21 Ultra, Samsung Tab S7+, and an Alienware Win 10 laptop.
