Orbi backhall signal dropping to Zero
When I upgraded to the latest firmware the backhall signal started to drop to zero. It was smooth prior to the upgrade. This has to degrade performance. See below. What can be done?
I am on the latest firmware and when android devices connect to the 2nd or satellite Orbi. The connection to the device fails and recoonects sporadically. Thoughts?
Orbi was working great until about a month ago.

Have you tried either turning on or off the MIMO and Beam Forming? Suggest switching one at a time.
My performance has truly gone to **bleep** with my units. I sware it was so good before. I am gonna check if there is a firmware downgrade available. My satellites used to get me almost my gig speeds, nothing has changed. Now I get 20-30mbps when I connect to satellites. When I go downstairs and run speedtest on hard wired computer I get almost a 1gig connection. I am truly disappointed in the **bleep** the product has turned in to with updates. This is why if its working fine don't upgrade. Netgear seems to be braking a truly amazing product.
Hello nkd
What firmware version did you see the speed loss in and which firmware was it working?

I've got a fresh 3 pack and upgraded to latest firmware, adjusted all possible options on/off. I bought my system mainly for wireless IP cams and can tell you that the stats page with bitrates drop frequently. I've also plugged some cams into the satellites rear ports and still experience drops. Backhaul needs some work done fast, otherwise return and onto the next "mesh" network, Eero maybe.
