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.
So I downgraded to v1.3.0.26 with similar results.
Called Comcast my ISP for an explanation or to see if they have been throttling back my speeds as I have been speed testing a lot. The "tech" support person was of no help. Now I've returned back to v1.4.0.16 a bit frustrated wondering why my speeds have gone down significantly.
I wouldn't care if I was getting 70-90mbps consistently, but when you can not crack a 10mbps ceiling when you're paying for 150mbps and you just spent $500+ on a new mesh network. You REALLY want answers (looking at Netgear). Hope something good surfaces soon.
On the latest 1.4.0.16 firmware you can run a speed test from the Orbi router itself.
Go to 192.168.1.1 -> Advanced -> Setup -> QOS Setup and its in there. Would be interesting to see the results. Here are mine on Cox 300/30 service - seems its overprovisioned a bit:
suggest you do that test with no other device using the internet at the time as it sets the max qos limits for the router as well
