Orbi Firmware 1.4.0.16
Looks like new Firmware just released today 1.4.0.16 anyone taken this yet? I will as soon as I get some time today hopefully it address frequent random wireless drops.
I'm concerned the new firmware update has bottlenecked my Orbi network. Before I was getting 90-170mbps since the update. I'm barely seeing 10-25mbps. Has anyone else witness this? I've rebooted. I assumed my network switch was incompatible so I unplugged it and immediately saw my original speeds come back, but minutes later goes back to the same slower speeds. I'm wondering should I factory reset with the new firmware and see how that works.
I'm seeing the same thing, randye, but only on the satellite. Previous download speeds ~230mbps just now anywhere from there to ~130. Different tests are all over the place. Maybe too many black Friday shoppers!
I'm making a guess that the band steering enhancement is possibly my issue. There was a thread or post stating that Orbi has a problem switching from 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz and vice versa when a device is near a stronger/weaker signal.
I saw none of these low speeds until the new firmware arrived.
